A 27-year-old Russian rapper took his own life to avoid being drafted to fight in President Vladimir Putin's brutal war in Ukraine after tragically declaring he was "not ready to kill for any ideals."

Ivan Vitalievich Petunin, who performed under the stage name 'walkie', was found dead on Friday after jumping from a high-rise apartment building in the city of Krasnodar, according to Russian-language news outlet 93.ru, which was translated by The Post, reports nypost.com.

The rapper's death has since been confirmed by his girlfriend and his mother, who spoke to a 93.ru reporter, independent Russian media outlet Mediazona reported.

Petunin committed suicide by throwing himself off the 10th floor, local sources told the outlets.

Before the tragic leap, the rapper also filmed himself delivering a heart-wrenching suicide message that was posted to his Telegram channel, local media reported.

"If you are watching this video, then I am no longer alive," he said in Russian, according to a translated version of the 2-minute 16-second clip published by TMZ.

"I can't take the sin of murder on my soul and I don't want to. I am not ready to kill for any ideals. To murder someone in war or otherwise is something I cannot do," he continued.

"It seems to me that partial mobilisation will become full in a few days," Petunin said, referencing the ramped-up war effort rolled out by strongman Putin, whom he later called a "maniac."

"Forgive me, my loved ones, but sometimes you have to die for your principles," the tragic message continued.

"My last decision is exactly how I die," he continued, looking emotional and breathing deeply.

Walkie had nearly 40,000 monthly listeners on Spotify, and his song which means "Neurotoxin," had been streamed nearly 2 million times.

The recording artist had been releasing music since 2013, his Bandcamp page showed.

Petunin had reportedly previously served in the army and had been treated in a mental hospital.

In a letter to his girlfriend, Petunin wrote that because of Russia's sham 'referendums' that led to the annexation of four regions of Ukraine last week, "everyone will go to the front lines."

He continued: "People with psychosocial ailments ever worse than mine are already being sent there without any hesitation."

His final act of desperation came as Russian men were fleeing the warring nation in droves or breaking their own arms to avoid being conscripted into military action following Putin's September 21 address that called for 300,000 reservists to be sent to battle.

Nearly 200,000 Russians had fled to neighbouring Georgia, Kazakhstan and Finland since the announcement, risking 10-year prison sentences if captured.

CISF cop on security duty at Teesta Setalvad's home shoots himself

A 17-year-old girl was allegedly abducted and subsequently raped by eight men in Haryana's Mewat, following which she committed suicide, the police said today.

The girl was found lying unconscious after she was gang-raped in a secluded area in Nuh district after being abducted from her house on Monday, according to a complaint filed by the girl's father with the police.

The teenager was alone in the house when the accused came on two motorcycles and a car and abducted her, it said.

After committing the crime, the accused fled the spot, a police officer of Rojka Meo police station said over phone today.

Following the incident, the girl allegedly committed suicide in her house on Tuesday by hanging herself.

Her father told the police that the 17-year-old had identified the accused, who had stalked her in the past as well.

"We have registered a case of abduction, gang-rape and abetment to suicide against the accused, and are conducting raids to nab them," said Rojka Mev SHO Jai Bhagwan.

"Investigations in the case are on," SP, Mewat, Nazneen Bhasin said.&nbsp;

Registered cases of sexual violence have been steadily rising despite the national outrage that followed the fatal gang-rape of a student on a bus in New Delhi in 2012.

Amid the wave of anger at that time, the government promised to speed up rape trials, introduce harsher penalties, including the death sentence in extreme cases, and introduced a law against stalking.

But statistics show that since 2012, reported rape cases climbed 60 percent to about 40,000 in 2016, with child rape accounting for about 40 percent of them.
