They are crying for help and do not give up hope.
Marina Burakova disappeared in Mexico in December 2012.
Her relatives and friends are urging governments
to take immediate actions.
They came to the Embassy of Mexico in Kiev (capital of Ukraine)
to ask for help.
MFA in Ukraine convince them that the case is under control.
They are unfolding hand-made banners
and trying to drive banner posts in the frozen soil
in front of the Embassy of Mexico in Ukraine.
It is their first political meeting
Desperation and uncertainty brought them here
More than 30 days have passed since Marina Burakova
disappeared in Mexico,
and her friends and family have received no news since.
They are afraid that no action has been taken
to find her.
It began as a new happy tour for the young couple
Alexander and Marina went to
the Land of Maya
and planned their trip to coincide with the end of Mayan calendar.
Marina was overwhelmed with positive emotions and shared them with her friends on Skype.
Her experiences were very positive,
there was nothing alarming at all.
This video shows Marina with her friends
they remember her smiling and happy and refuse
to believe that
the most horrible thing could happen to her.
Even though her husband was brutally killed.
His body with multiple stabbing wounds was found in Yukatan.
right in front of the car
they hired for seeing
historical places.
I'm sure she is alive because her dead body wasn't found.
If they wanted to kill her, there would be two dead bodies
because she was the witness of a ***.
If Marina is alive, there's no time to lose -
decided her family and friends and started shaking up all authorities
that may be able to help.
But they faced delays.
DNA testing of the body has not been done yet,
though body marks
leave no room for doubt -
the murdered young man is Marina's husband.
Governmental response is really shocking.
I think all investigation
and search is mere 'make-believe'
and in fact they do nothing -
just pretend and write back
that they take
some action.
I only can ask...
ask for help.
I ask to spread the information, to speed up the search
The heart cry of family and friends of missing Marina Burakova was heard by the Embassy of Mexico
but it was only put on notice.
Can we talk today?
we need five or ten minutes, no more ...
We'll try to reach them
we need five or ten minutes, no more ...
As for the Ambassador -
we'll try to call him on the phone now - Please, only five or ten minutes, no more! - Got it.
Latest news from MFA of Ukraine
brought some relief to Marina's mother.
They reported that search for the missing girl has been conducted throughout Mexico,
border security was increased including airports.
On 8th of March she will be 26
I believe she will come home before her birthday
