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.

This wall is at 3000 meters and may be the highest of Europe- I absolutely had plans to celebrate this fact with a different design, but could not when children are crying and innocent people are dying.

Ukraine stay strong!

#77 When I Saw A Report By The Nytimes Showing Ordinary Civilians Lining Up To Defend Their Country, I Was Struck By The Sheer Courage And Determination Of The Ukrainian People

The last mural I painted was of Ireland’s great mythical hero Fionn Mac Cumhaill. Fionn’s warriorship was one of integrity, truth, courage and love. 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.
