Maria Kovalchuk Case: Ukrainian Influencer Found with Mangled Body in Dubai
Influencer Maria Kovalchuk was found with multiple fractures after ten days missing in Dubai. Her family rejects the police version
The disappearance of Maria Kovalchuk, a 20-year-old Ukrainian model and influencer, has shocked public opinion. After ten days without a trace, the young woman was found on the side of a road in Dubai, with multiple fractures to her spine and limbs, and without any documents or belongings. Her health is critical, and she has already undergone four surgeries to stabilize her condition.
Maria was last seen on March 9, when she announced to friends that she would be attending a private party at a Dubai hotel with two men who allegedly presented themselves as representatives of the modeling world. Two days later, she was scheduled to fly to Thailand, but never boarded her flight. Upon noticing her absence, friends and family reported her missing to the authorities.
On March 19, the young woman was found with severe injuries, raising numerous questions about what happened during those ten days. Her mother, Anna Kovalchuk, traveled from Norway to accompany her and has expressed distrust regarding the official version of events.
The official version of the Dubai Police
According to the Dubai Police, Maria Kovalchuk allegedly entered a construction site alone and fell from a great height, which they explain as the cause of her serious injuries. "The Ukrainian national previously reported missing is currently hospitalized and receiving medical attention with her family," they stated in a brief statement.
Family and Followers Question the Police Version
Despite the official explanation, Maria's family rejects the accident theory. "We don't believe in the fall hypothesis. My daughter didn't jump, this wasn't a coincidence," stated her mother, who demands a thorough investigation. According to her version, the young woman disappeared after attending the party with the two men mentioned above. Furthermore, the event organizer claimed not to have seen her that night, and the hotel's security footage has yet to be released.
Followers of the influencer have also expressed doubts, wondering how her body ended up on the side of a road if she had fractures to her spine, arms, and legs. "If she fell into a construction site, how did she get there?" asked one social media user.
A Ukrainian blogger, identified as Devana, pointed out that Maria may have been a victim of so-called "sheikh parties," where some women reportedly receive payments to attend, but in many cases end up entangled in exploitation and human trafficking networks. "It is suspected that Maria may have attended one of those parties, where the stories often have tragic outcomes," she commented on her X account.
A high-profile influencer
Maria Kovalchuk had become known on platforms like OF, where she posted adult content, but she also stood out for her social commitment. She spoke out against the war in Ukraine and expressed her support for the currently imprisoned Russian sociologist Boris Kagarlitsky. On social media, she cultivated a luxurious image, with posts about exclusive destinations and sophisticated events.
While the model continues to fight for her life in the hospital, the investigation remains open. Many questions remain about what happened during the ten days of her disappearance and whether it was truly an accident or something darker.
