"The graffiti of the British artist Banksy, which was attempted to be stolen by cutting it off the wall in Gostomel, is now in storage at the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra National Reserve," the statement said.

It is a work that the street artist made on the wall of a house in the newly de-occupied Kyiv region. It depicts a woman with a fire extinguisher in a curling iron on a chair in front of a burnt-out window.

"Banksy created this and other works to draw the world's attention to Ukraine and the cruelty of the Russian occupiers. Now his graffiti is preserved where the struggle for Ukrainian culture, history, and values for the future continues," the reserve said.

Next to the work of a twenty-first-century British artist, one will be able to see eleventh-century Old Russian graffiti, a caricature of one of the builders of the Assumption Cathedral. Innocent hooliganism from a thousand years ago.

"Look for Banksy in the Lavra to see how the anti-war protest of the twenty-first century, preserved from destruction and looting, is hidden among the monuments of the thousand-year-old Orthodox shrine," the reserve noted.
