We have seen a hundred reels about how safe Dubai is. And it is. However, that’s no reason to put your guard down.
In a chilling incident, 20-year-old Ukrainian model Maria Kovalchuk was found brutally injured on a Dubai roadside on March 19, 2025, eight days after she went missing. She had told friends she was attending a party at a hotel on March 9 with two men who claimed to be modeling representatives, according to Ukrainian media reports.
Maria was discovered battered and bloodied, with broken limbs and a fractured spine, and remains in critical condition, unable to speak, as reported by Russian outlets Shot and Life. The savage nature of her injuries points to a horrific act of violence.
