OnlyFans model abused, beaten, dumped on side of road
A new twist has emerged in the mystery of an OnlyFans model found near death after being dumped on the side of a road after being forced to become a sex slave. Maria Kovalchuk went missing for eight days before she was found in a coma in Dubai with a broken spine, arms and legs. It was believed that the 20-year-old Ukranian had been at a 'porta potty' event in the United Aram Emirates — where female influencers are paid huge sums to be subjected to extreme and degrading abuse — before she vanished in March. A source source close to Kovalchuk has come out in recent days saying that the model was also abused by unidentified Russians. Maria Kovalchuk vanished for eight days.

Ilya Kovalchuk Has Advice For Ivan Demidov
has done wonderful work interviewing former Russian NHLers recently, and their latest interview is with a former Montreal Canadiens player, Ilya Kovalchuk, even though he wasn't with the team for long. The Canadiens Hits Leader May Not Be Who You ThinkLaine is Creeping up The Power Play Goal League LeadersAnother Exploit For Lane Hutson While he played less than 1,000 games in the NHL, Kovalchuk was a great offensive talent who scored 876 points over the course of his career. He's also one of those players who played in the NHL but felt the need to go home after a while; after signing a 15-year deal with the New Jersey Devils in 2010, he announced his retirement from the NHL in 2013 and walked away from the 77 million left on his contract. After playing part of six seasons in the KHL with SKA St. Petersburg, Kovalchuk decided to return to the NHL, signing a contract with the Los Angeles Kings. After 17 games in his second season in LA, he was traded to the Canadiens and played 22 games with the Habs during the 2019-20 campaign before being flipped to the Washington Capitals. He went back to Russia at the end of that season. In his short tenure with the Canadiens, the left winger scored six goals and seven assists for 13 points, but he still made some highlight-reel plays that quickly made him a fan favorite. The "Kovalshow" brought in some light in an otherwise very bleak season for the Canadiens. In an exclusive interview with the former NHL star was asked about Canadiens' prospect Ivan Demidov and praised him, saying he was a bright and hard-working young man with a true passion for the game. He also mentioned that he's heard he puts in a lot of extra work and is confident he will do well in Montreal. Just like Andrei Kovalenko a couple of days ago, Kovalchuk emphasizes the importance of respecting the local culture and not being shy about speaking the language. He also agrees hockey is like a religion in Montreal, which comes with intense scrutiny, and that's something he'll need to be ready for. Thankfully, the organization is well-aware of that fact, and any player joining the Canadiens has to complete a training and awareness program that prepares them for that reality, as France Margaret Belanger explained in a recent interview. There are only three games left in SKA St. Petersburg's regular season, and after a losing streak, Roman Rotenberg's men have straightened the ship of late, winning their last four games. We'll see if that translates to success in the playoffs. Canadiens stories, analysis, breaking news, and more! Tap the star to add us to your favorites on Google News, never to miss a story.

Police investigate death of 32-year-old man at military enlistment office
Chernivtsi Oblast's police said on Feb. 7 that they are investigating the circumstances surrounding the death of a 32-year-old man at a regional military enlistment office. He was wanted for evading mobilization and agreed to visit the enlistment office to clarify his military registration details, according to the police. According to preliminary information, the man felt unwell and fainted during his medical examination. Police said they immediately provided first aid and called paramedics, but despite resuscitation efforts, doctors pronounced him dead at the scene. His body was sent for forensic examination to determine the cause of death. The incident follows reports on the deaths of conscripts allegedly caused by beatings at military enlistment offices. In June 2024 the Zhytomyr Oblast military enlistment office launched an investigation after Serhii Kovalchuk, 32, died following his stay at the Zviahel military enlistment office. Kovalchuk's relatives accused the military enlistment office of causing his death by beating him. Dozens of local residents protested against the enlistment office following the incident. Prosecutors opened a murder investigation into the incident. Military enlistment officials have denied the accusations, claiming that no violence was used against Kovalchuk. The incidents also come amid heightened security concerns following a series of attacks on military enlistment offices. On Feb. 1, a bombing at a draft office in Rivne killed the suspected perpetrator and injured eight service members. The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) later said Russia had recruited the attacker. Other recent attacks include explosions at recruitment centers in Rivne and Pavlohrad, which wounded several officers, and the Jan. 31 killing of a draft officer in Poltava Oblast. Ukrainian authorities have pledged to investigate the incidents and bring those responsible to justice.
