Maria Kovalchuk

Maria Kovalchuk is a Ukrainian woman who left Kherson for a village, then for Lviv, and later for Norway. She presents herself as a model and also has an OnlyFans page.

Maria went to Dubai to work, but on March 9, after a party, she stopped getting in touch. Her mother contacted the embassy and was told that her daughter had been found on the side of the road in serious condition. Her spine, arms and legs were broken

The girl has already regained consciousness and moves in a wheelchair. She is in Norway and told Russian propagandist Ksenia Sobchak that the main person in the case is Artem Papazov – the son of Donetsk businessman Oleh Papazov, who now lives in the UAE. Also in the company were:

  • Russian Maksim Krasheninnikov (according to testimony, he left early and did not take part),
  • Belarusian Aleksandr Loptitsky,
  • Russian blogger Aleksandra Mertsalova,
  • Ukrainian-born Milena Dolganova.

Maria Kovalchuk's mother said that Papazov had been detained but released after a "call from above". Maria's family suspects that the investigation is being dragged out due to corruption.
