Borodianka was hit particularly hard by Russian airstrikes in the first few weeks of the conflict
The graffiti artist posted three images of the piece Friday on social media, with a simple caption reading Borodyanka, Ukraine - perhaps using an alternative spelling for the town's name.
Banksy is working in the war-torn country in Borodianka, located just about 35 miles northwest of the capital, Kyiv.
It was home to 13,000 people before the war, but most fled after Russia's invasion. What was left of Borodianka, after intense shelling and devastating strikes, was then occupied by Russian forces, who moved in on February 28.
Look at one artwork, not officially claimed by the artist, depicted a man being flipped during a judo match with a little boy.
Another showed two children using a metal tank trap as a seesaw.
Borodianka was hit particularly hard by Russian airstrikes at the start of the invasion of Ukraine in February, with many buildings reduced to piles of rubble by long-range attacks.
The town has since been the focus of reconstruction efforts, with several tower blocks demolished as a result of damage caused by the fighting.
