"Dear Banksy, we know that your work is highly valued in our country, the works are even tried to be stolen, and municipal security has been attached to all the others... We are asking you to paint art on the Flowers of Ukraine building", - reads appeals public initiative.
Activists noted that they have been fighting for more than a year to preserve the building of modernism and brutalism in Kyiv - the "Flowers of Ukraine" pavilion. The townspeople were able to stop the machinery that came to demolish the building, and occupied its roof. Later, they managed to grant it the protected status of an architectural monument.
"This week, the court deprived it of this protective status, now the building can be demolished, and perhaps the only thing that can save it is a valuable mural," the appeal of the public initiative emphasizes.
