“Ukraine is an independent state and a people with every right to self-determination. The existence of a massive Ukrainian flag outside (Russian President Vladimir Putin’s) embassy in London will serve to remind him of that,” the group said in a statement.
The colours used for the painting were non-toxic, washable and designed for road art, the group informed. However due to traffic disruptions, three men and a woman were arrested and taken into custody “on suspicion of criminal damage and obstructing the highway.”
“ARRESTS IN KENSINGTON: At 08:45 today officers attended Kensington Palace Gardens, where paint had been thrown on the highway. Four people, three males and one female, were arrested on suspicion of criminal damage and obstructing the highway. They remain in custody,” Kensington & Chelsea Police tweeted.
