50 Of The Most Powerful Street Art Pieces Made In Support For Ukraine All Around The World
While civilian casualties rise as Putin continues his 12th day of military invasion in Ukraine, where men and women are fighting against the unprecedented aggression, street artists around the world are condemning Russia’s attack in their own way.
As artists, they have a voice to speak up and influence others, and a moral obligation to act against injustice. So they took their peaceful weapons to the streets and sprayed the walls with stunning, yet heartwrenching murals to support Ukraine.
The cities in Wales, Sweden, the US, England, Finland, Germany, Italy, France, Scotland, Lithuania, Indonesia, and many more countries have now turned into urban galleries that not only openly criticize and mock Putin, but send support to the people of Ukraine and give hope to the world in turmoil. Below are some of the most touching examples that, although silently, speak louder than bombs.

For My Ukrainian Friends
I've booked an apartment in Kyiv through Airbnb, received a reply from the owner that all funds will be transferred for the defense and humanitarian support of Ukrainian people, and I never felt better about a vacation I won't have!
I saw yesterday that people are doing this and find it a great idea!! However we need to be careful if the owners are actually from Ukraine cause I read about false accounts that try to take advantage of the situation and make profit! Make sure you read reviews before booking! But honestly this is a brilliant idea!

Putin Pictured As Voldemort - Streetart From Poland
Bored Panda reached out to Seth Globepainter, a Paris-based street artist whose mural of a little girl crushing tanks under her feet went viral on social media along with the works of other street artists who are creating art to support Ukraine. "This small girl symbolizes the courage of the Ukrainians faced with the Russian invasion,” Seth told us. This mural is located in the Butte-aux-Cailles neighborhood of Paris, the 13th arrondissement.

It's a kid dressed as a superhero, wearing the colors of the Ukranian flag. I think it means that Ukranians are heroes, brave and amazing people, and how powerful today's kids are (in this case, Ukranian kids). That's just my interpretation, hehe

Vitaliy Skakun, 26, young combat engineer. He sacrificed his life to blow up a bridge. He died on 24th of February in Putin's war on Ukraine. He died defending his country.
Polina was killed on Saturday, together with her parents on the streets of Kyiv. She was just a 4th grader.
I cry & cry for Ukraine... the innocents dying. A country so beautiful being shredded. Somebody STOP PUTIN PLEASE
My thoughts exactly. I don't know these people personally yet I cry for them. They are all of us and we are all of them. They are people with lives and loved ones and dreams of living in peace. May God bless the Ukrainian people and may Putin feel the fires of hell that he deserves.

This is beyond heartbreaking. War is a truly horrible and disgusting thing that nobody should ever have to experience. So many innocent lives are lost.

Powerful. I often wonder if everyone who hated the death of innocents just stopped, how many would remain.
“I painted several occasions at a school in Donbas located in the heart of the conflict zone, where I witnessed incredible resilience from the children. They are the ones who inspired me to realize this work,” the artist explained.
Seth also said that although he does not usually express his views on current events, he knows “how important it is for the people living through this dramatic situation to know that we are thinking of them.” He added: “I painted this in Paris for the Ukrainian people, particularly for my friend Oleg who is still in Kyiv.”

We also spoke with WOSKerski, an interdisciplinary artist based in London. Recently, he painted a beautiful mural of a woman dressed in a chunky knit hat, colored in bold Ukrainian flag colors. “I’m aware of how meaningless the online support is to the brave people of Ukraine fighting for their lives and their country but I still hope this little tribute will help somehow,” WOSKerski wrote on his Instagram adding that “let’s hope this madness ends soon.” The mural can be found in the Shoreditch area, London.

“So first of all I have no idea who the girl is and originally she wasn’t wearing Ukrainian flag colors. So I changed quite a few bits when working on the design,” WOSKerski told us. “I was drawn to the portrait as I feel that her face expresses a mixture of outrage, fear and solemn determination to fight and I believe we are all equally outraged and shocked by what’s happening,” he explained.
“We can all support brave people of Ukraine by offering them shelter and supporting them financially, but as an artist, I strongly felt that it’s my duty and moral obligation to reach a wider audience and show both my support of Ukraine and also to raise awareness,” WOSKerski concluded

NATO can’t do much without starting World War III. It’s not that simple.
At the same time, Putin is being the “the playground bully” we all tell our kids to stand up to when they see him picking on someone smaller. I understand we don’t want a nuclear war/WWIII, but letting Hitler 2.0 start up isn’t the answer either. He’s not going to stop with Ukraine. So at what point do we decide to get involved? Thoughts & prayers are bullshite. We need to step up & sanctions are NOT stepping up. (Not when large countries like India & China are outliers.) Our sanctions don’t impact him. At most, they impact people in his country, who already lack power. If anything, we’re helping him find the possible rebels, so he can take them out before they can organize with any hope of outside power to support them.
Load More Replies...We feel with you, but starting world war III will do no one any good. It is a knife edge to balance on and just a minor misstep may end in cathastrophy -not just for Ukraine but for all of Europe. We can support you with emergency supplies, intels, take in refugees and cheer for you, but we cannot fight the war for you, though we agree that Putin is in no way in his right to do what he is currently doing.
WW3 is coming anyway. Putin is insane and sooner or later he is going to attack the Baltics or some other NATO country and its gonna go tits up. Might as well call his bluff and take the war to him or just roll over and let him do what he wants. We in the Baltics know the russians in our bones. The distrust is given in the mothers milk. We have been telling you since '91 but here we are.
Exactly. NATO still treats Putin like a rational agent but he is not. He will start WWIII if he wants to, whether anyone “provokes” him or not

I Hope This Little Tribute Will Help Somehow
I’m aware of how meaningless the online support is to the brave people of Ukraine fighting for their lives and their country but I still hope this little tribute will help somehow. Let’s hope this madness ends soon.
Beautiful, not meaningless. Knowing you are on the right side of history is empowering.
Such a gorgeous tribute to the strength and courage of the Ukrainian people.
Sometimes all someone can do in support is art, sometimes just good thoughts and prayers.
It certainly feels meaningless at times. Our leaders here in the United States, our community members, WE ... teach our children to stand up to bullies but from where I'm standing... we're certainly not practicing what we preach and some of us wish that we could do so much more to help. This amazingly gorgeous piece of art speaks incredible volumes and touches the soul...even in the silent, hopeful places. It's an absolutely stunning piece of art... you did marvelously.
You are wrong. It’s NOT meaningless. Since history repeats itself, war is first lost on the homefront, and just by keeping the positive supportive dialog go, it will inspire the people of the Ukraine and Ukrainians around the world to keep going. (WW2 is a great example, those that didn’t or couldn’t go to war did their part, and we can to, )

I am a bit surprised since Putin (is/was) a supporter of the megalomaniac in charge of Syria, but that was more about his precious pipeline. Wonder what they think of him now that Putin could care less.
This is what happens when it becomes the enemy of the enemy is my friend. But there is a frightening aspect to that because history shows us what happens when the original enemy is defeated.
Not the best example. Idlib is the last stronghold of ISIS. They hate Russia because the Russian-supported Syrian Army cleaned up the ISIS mess the U.S. caused.

Nearly Everybody know, that this would possibly lead to ww3 which will destroy the life of His folx like even like so many others. And sadly, maybe not Putin and other rich guys who can hide in bunkers, have food and water and will play with their Power even further... I hope selenskjy can understand this, as i understand His Frustration. But it would be so much worse for so much more people. sadly i can't imagine a good ending to this whole thing, beside the assasination of putin, because in every other scenario He, in His lunatic mind, has to be the emporer.

Fionn and the Fianna were fierce protectors of their tribe. This is what I saw in the faces of the Ukrainian people. This new mural depicts the face of one of these people; a young Ukrainian civilian-warrior named Zakhar Nechypor who has the power and protection of their sovereignty Goddess Berehynia emanating through him. This artwork is a declaration of our support for the Ukrainian people. It is an honoring of their exceptional courage, strength, humanity and power. We want them to know that the Irish people stand with them in solidarity and love.

War. What Is It Good For? Absolutely Nothing. Moz Says Stop War
Maybe you want to try to tell slaves freed by the US Civil War that nothing good can ever come from war. Yes, there SHOULD be better solutions, but human nature being what it is....
First of all, I want to compliment all these skillful artists for their stunning work. Great job. It's also good seeing us all standing together for peace. However, I admit I don't like all that death wishes for Putin. He's a bastard, indeed, and I understand the sentiment, I really do. But I think we should be better than that mass-murderer that he is. I hope he gets replaced by someone who actually knows and wants democracy and the good for their people and neighbours.
I'm not a fan of death wishes. I also know that only death stopped many of history's madmen. I'm not suggesting anyone do to him what was done to Eichmann, but if he dropped dead of, say, an aneurysm? I would feel a little safer in the world.

I feel like we're always kept in the dark here in the U.S and not many people really make an effort to take the time to find out exactly what's happening around us and not just what they read on Facebook or hear on the news media stations...so we tend to come off as uncaring and ignorant. We have become so incredibly selfish that we can't usually see past our own miniscule, un-meaningful, petty personal problems to give attention to other countries and people who are LITERALLY suffering and dying. We post a hashtag on Twitter and Facebook in solidarity and support and that's the extent of our support. Sad.

They are so brainwashed and so restricted in what they are allowed to know, if they were able to see the true reaction of the world to this absolute diabolical invasion then perhaps, just perhaps they can make things start to fall apart for putin and his little a**e lickers from within. I know ppl were leaving yelp reviews on Russian restaurants stating what was happening, could that not be modified for these artworks, which have hit so hard in people's hearts, to be posted? Yes, I am aware i sound like my head is in the clouds but I believe that pressure from within Russia will help end this and if Russian people are aware of the full picture then it wouldn't just be young people demonstrating and protesting in Russia, but all Russian people would say "not in my name" Jesus, it's 2022 we should be better as a species than this
