Dubai Police deny reports on missing Ukrainian model

Dubai: Dubai Police have dismissed reports regarding a Ukrainian model who was said to have gone missing.

Several international media outlets claimed that the 20 year old had been missing for 10 days and was found abandoned beside a road in Dubai. One report even said she was “found battered”.

In an official statement issued through the Government of Dubai Media Office, Dubai Police confirmed to Gulf News that these claims are false.

They clarified that the Ukrainian citizen is receiving medical care in a hospital, with her family by her side.

An investigation revealed that she sustained severe injuries after entering a restricted construction site alone on March 12 and falling from a height. Witnesses immediately alerted emergency services, and she was transported to the hospital, where she continues her recovery.

Dubai Police emphasised that multiple international reports contain significant factual inaccuracies, particularly the claims that she was missing for 10 days or was found abandoned.

Authorities continue to work closely with the victim’s family and relevant organisations to provide necessary support.

In accordance with UAE laws, all evidence and case details remain confidential while the investigation is ongoing.

“We urge the public and media to refrain from sharing unverified information and to respect the privacy of the individual and her family during this difficult time,” the police said.
