A massive three-story mural honoring a 23-year-old refugee from Ukraine, Iryna Zarutska, was recently unveiled on the side of a building in the Bushwick neighborhood.
Sources from local media outlets were seen speaking about the matter, which has reignited a fresh debate with lefties who claim that such a mural was not necessary. They said the mural was put in place by anti-immigrant fascists.

The artwork was painted by a leading American street artist who goes by the name Ben Keller and is part of a bigger campaign to keep her memory alive and highlight the tragedy of her brutal killing.
