UKRAINE AND RUSSIA MURAL IS TAKEN DOWN BY AN AUSTRALIAN ARTIST FOLLOWING CRITICISM

  • 05/09/2022

Following backlash from the public, an Australian artist has painted over a street mural depicting Russian and Ukrainian soldiers hugging.

According to its creator, Peter Seaton, the Melbourne artwork promoted "a peaceful resolution" between the two nations.

The three-story mural, however, has been compared by some to Russian propaganda.

Seaton, also known as CTO, has expressed regret for his work, calling it "clumsy" and admitting that he "didn't think it would be so badly received."

Since the Russian invasion in February, thousands of Ukrainians have died, and Russian forces have been charged with war crimes.
