It was initially thought that Maria had been kidnapped into a sex trafficking ring linked to the notorious 'Porta Potty' scene.
These are disturbing events which are known to involve high-paying UAE clients who degrade women, often influencers, for large sums.

But Maria has now denied any involvement of Emirati citizens in her brutal ordeal.
She instead accused the privileged children of wealthy Russians and Ukrainian businessmen of abusing her after a wild party in a
Dubai
hotel.
Speaking to Russian
news
outlet Novosti, the model said: 'I mostly use a wheelchair and crutches.
'I still have a leg fracture that's healing.

'I'm learning to walk with crutches again, but for now, the wheelchair is my main means of moving around.'
An insider close to Maria said: "It was the Russians who tortured Maria.

'She was found with a broken spine, arms and legs — and unable to speak."
According to Maria, she had missed her flight to Thailand while staying at the luxury Five Jumeirah Village hotel.
She was offered a place to stay by a 19-year-old man she had recently met at a karaoke bar. He claimed his father could fly her out on a private jet.
But then the man, along with a few other people, began to torture her instead, the model claims.
'They started teasing me, why I wasn't drinking,' she said.
'Then some aggressive pushes like pushing in the shoulders began.
'After that, they started making fun of me like 'you belong to us, we will do whatever we want'.'
She described how the group began smashing bottles and glass on the floor, making it impossible to move barefoot, and said they took her passport and belongings.
What are Porta Potty parties?
PORTA potty parties are events, usually in the United Arab Emirates, where women are paid large amounts of money to sexually gratify wealthy men - in often highly degrading ways.
It's thought that the women are sometimes duped into participating on false pretences - such as the promise of a modelling contract.
At the events, men exploit the opportunity to commit depraved acts on the women.
The name supposedly comes from the fact that the deeply disturbing acts can include men treating women as human toilets.
Women, often from ex-Soviet countries, are lured in by the promise of a glamorous lifestyle and highly paid careers in the oil-rich states.
An expert
Recruiters often target attractive women with online presences, or even TV stars.
Radha Stirling, founder and CEO of Detained in Dubai, told The Sun: "It's exploitation disguised as glamour or opportunity. Women, in particular, are offered all sorts of opportunities in Dubai.
"They might be offered to come and model, to come and play music, or to expand their career in some way or another.
"But what they don't realise is that when they get there, they are essentially at the beck and call of whoever has brought them there.
"They're under their complete control, and they put themselves in such a risky position where they could end up gang raped, they could end up drugged, they could end up dead."
She claims the men 'hinted' they wanted sex — and when she refused, things escalated.
'I did not reciprocate, and this aggression was also heating them up,' she said.
Maria says she tried to escape and hid at a nearby construction site — but was tracked down, beaten, and thrown from a ledge.
'I ran away… I ran to the nearest building, just scared, and ran in, hid there. It was just an unfinished building, open,' Maria recalled.
She was eventually found in a hotel bathrobe by a passing driver who called an ambulance.
She fell into a coma and remained unconscious for days.
CCTV footage that could have shown what happened was allegedly erased after three months, Maria claims, leaving no video evidence.
'The
police
waited until the cameras were automatically wiped… So now there's no evidence,' she said.

Dubai police are said to have detained the accused young men — briefly — but released them the following day, with the case reportedly closed.
'They now claim in their testimonies that they tried to find and help Maria and that she had asked to come to the party herself,' said her mother, Anna.
She revealed that her daughter's high-cost medical treatment in Dubai — running into the millions — was paid for by local authorities.
'I don't know how much they paid — the sum was colossal, millions,' she said.
Ostorozhno Novosti reported that in exchange, she was asked not to say "anything that would cast the Emirate's authorities in a negative light".

Ukrainians take to the streets after Zelenskyy signs new law that targets anti-corruption bodies

UKRAINIANS HAVE TAKEN to the streets to protest after President Volodymyr Zelenskyy signed a bill into law that opposition figures have said will leave Ukraine's anti-corruption bodies disempowered. The law means that the prosecutor general now has control of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau and the specialised Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office. It has effectively erased the independence of the two bodies. Critics have said that this will mean that Ukraine's parliament will have the ability to control which cases are pursued. Zelenskyy has said that this was done to rid the bodies of 'Russian influence'. In an address the President said that cases taken by the bodies had been left 'lying dormant', including criminal proceedings 'worth billions'. Advertisement Protesters seen with placards, expressing their opinions against a law that strips the National Anti-Corruption Bureau and the Specialised Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office of their 22 July. Alamy Stock Photo Alamy Stock Photo He spoke on the bill in a post-midnight address after signing the bill late Tuesday (he makes an address around that time every night). Kyiv has now seen the biggest protests in years, with hundreds gathering in Kyiv, and elsewhere in the cities of Odesa, Dnipro and Lviv. Yesterday protestors had gathered in their hundreds near the presidential complex and called for Zelenskyy to veto the law. As protests go on today, it's the first time Ukrainians have taken to the streets in these numbers since Russia first launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Marta Kos, the European Commissioner for Enlargement, said on twitter that she is 'seriously concerned' over the move. Kos further said: 'The dismantling of key safeguards protecting NABU's independence is a serious step back. Independent bodies like NABU & SAPO, are essential for [Ukraine's] EU path. Rule of Law remains in the very center of EU accession negotiations.' Readers like you are keeping these stories free for everyone...

Massive protests sweep Kyiv over corruption reform in biggest challenge to Zelensky since Putin's invasion of Ukraine

MAJOR protests have started to sweep across Ukraine after President Volodymyr Zelensky signed a controversial corruption bill. Critics fear the new law may weaken the country's anti-corruption bodies by stripping the two main organisations in the embattled nation of their independence.

He warned that the bill needed to be passed in order to clear the National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) and the Specialised Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office (SAPO) of "Russian influence". The offices of the two agencies were raided by Ukraine's security services on Monday after infiltration allegations from Moscow emerged.

‘Putin wants us to panic.' How Russia has stepped up attacks on Ukraine

Russian president Vladimir Putin's forces have launched 5,402 drones and missiles against Ukraine so far this month, with the pace of attacks surging sharply in recent weeks, according to figures from Ukraine's air force. The deadliest single day came on July 9, when Moscow fired 741 drones and missiles. This was followed by other intense barrages, including 623 on July 12 and 550 on July 4. While the number of strikes dipped mid-month with just 35 reported on July 18 and 64 on July 17, the pace has picked up again over the past week, with 330 weapons fired on Saturday and a further 450 on Sunday. In June alone, there were five instances where Russia sent over 400 drones and missiles in a night. Federico Borsari, a Fellow with the Transatlantic Defence and Security Program at the Center for European Policy Analysis (CEPA), has said that the Russian army is likely to have been planning an increase in strikes for at least a year. 'There were already signs that Russia was trying to increase its output in terms of assets and platforms that they could launch against Ukraine in 2024,' he said, adding that the increase in drones is an attempt to make air raids more effective. 'Russia is trying to diversify its strike packages to make them more cost-effective and achieve a scale of destruction sufficient to destroy key military targets such as airfields.' He added that, for more than three years, Russia was not 'very effective' when it came to 'diminishing the production capacity of Ukraine at the industrial level'. The Russian army had also failed to 'create a sense of panic and fear among the population in order to discredit the government and create the conditions for less efficacy on the front line,' he said. Mr Borsari continued that Russia had been forced to be more tactical in its aims to increase damage against critical Ukrainian infrastructure. 'Russia is now also trying to focus on more strategic targets such as military enlistment offices,' he said. 'The attempt here is not just to destroy energy plants or other infrastructure, but also to create a sense of panic among the population. ADVERTISEMENT 'So, increasing the psychological effects of this war on the Ukrainian population and at the same time discouraging people from basically going to enlistment offices.' He said the psychological effects of the strikes could 'diminish the ability of the Ukrainian forces to recruit'. Earlier this month, the city of Lutsk, in Ukraine's north west, was hit by a Russian drone strike. Lutsk is home to airfields used by the Ukrainian army, with cargo planes and fighter jets routinely flying over it. Analysis shows that while Moscow is increasing its drone output and ramping up the intensity of its attacks, it does not follow a consistent pattern. On July 8, Russia fired 52 drones at Ukraine, followed by a record 550 the day after. The following day, it fired 322. Marcel Plichta, a former US Department of Defense analyst, suggested that Russia was staggering its large attacks with an 'on and off days' approach. 'The on day you would have a really big and increasingly a record-breaking attack and then on the off day you would have... like 100 drones or 61 drones,' he explained. 'The benefit to the large attack is, in addition to the fact that it grabs headlines, it's more likely to overwhelm Ukrainian air defence and damage the morale of the Ukrainian population. 'It's worse to try and shoot down 500 drones at once than it is 200 drones over two nights because you suddenly have to prioritise. You have to figure out where they all are and you need to respond to them. That's a much more challenging situation.' Both analysts added that the escalating aerial strikes indicated a ceasefire wasn't on the cards anytime soon, three years after Mr Putin launched his brutal invasion of the country. 'Russia has demonstrated that they're all in on the Shahed as a platform. Fundamentally they are all in on this idea of mass drone attacks to accompany their missiles,' Mr Plichta said. 'Basically from now until the end of the conflict, you're going to see a growth in the number of Shaheds being used'. He added: 'Ultimately the thing that stops Shaheds is a political end to the conflict, not necessarily a magic weapon that can shoot down interception rate.' Mr Borsari added: 'It's clear that Russia is not interested in achieving a ceasefire, at least based on the conditions that the US and Ukraine were hoping for.'
