Mysterious incident with Ukrainian model Kovalchuk in Dubai - new details

New details have emerged in the case of the incident with Ukrainian model Maria Kovalchuk, who was found in Dubai in serious condition.

This was told to "Apostrophe" by the spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, Heorhiy Tykhyi.

Currently, Ukrainian consuls continue to monitor the case of Kovalchuk, who, as a result of numerous injuries of varying severity, is undergoing treatment and rehabilitation in one of the hospitals in Dubai.

The victim underwent three complex surgeries, which were successful.

In the future, Kovalchuk will need to perform several more standard operations.

The Ukrainian Consulate provided her with assistance and organized free professional help from a psychologist.

The consulate also agreed with law enforcement agencies and the Dubai government to provide the entire course of treatment (surgery, provision of medications, professional support, etc.) at the expense of the Emirati side.

In addition, the Ukrainian consuls agreed to provide free assistance to Kovalchuk's mother in meeting her current household needs: providing a police interpreter, accommodation in a hotel and directly at the hospital, meals, logistics, etc.

"Consulate staff regularly hold meetings and maintain contact with the leadership and operational officers of the Dubai Criminal Police in the context of criminal proceedings. The victim is regularly visited by consular officials at the place of treatment. The case is under constant control of the Consulate of Ukraine in Dubai," noted Heorhiy Tykhyi.

Earlier, "Apostrophe" wrote that missing 20-year-old Ukrainian model Maria Kovalchuk was found in Dubai in serious condition. It was assumed that she could have been in sexual slavery.

As reported, Dubai police later reported what caused the injuries found on the side of the road of the missing 20-year-old Ukrainian model.

Also, Kovalchuk's friend Angelina Doroshenkova, who was the first to report the incident with her, made an important statement.
