A Russian rapper known as Walkie committed suicide after he was drafted to fight in the war against Ukraine. He jumped from a high-rise building to his death as he opposed the war.
Before he jumped, he posted a video on his Instagram, which said:
“If you are watching this video, then I am no longer alive. 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.”
“I choose to remain in history forever. As a man who did not support what was happening, I am not ready to take up arms and kill my own kind.”
He had already served in the Russian Army and despised the experience. This time around he tried to get a deferment because of mental illness, but that did not fly with the Russian military.
Still in the war, a two-time Ukrainian boxing champion, OLEG PRUDKY was killed while defending his country against Russian troops, the Ukrainian Boxing Federation announced on Monday.
On Instagram the Ukrainian Boxing Federation said in a statement:
“It is with sorrow that we inform you that the master of sports of international boxing class, the champion of Ukraine Oleg Prudky, was killed in the fights with Russian occupiers.”
“Boxing Federation of Ukraine expresses condolences to the boxer’s family. Eternal memory to you Olezh.”
Before joining the forces to defend his country, Prudky boxed in amateur and semi-pro leagues and competed in several European championships.
The super-lightweight became a two-time amateur champion and was part of the Ukrainian Otamans team in the World Series of Boxing semi-pro competition.
