How many people in Ukraine have the surname Putin: where it is prevalent

In Ukraine, the name of the Kremlin aggressor Vladimir Putin is considered synonymous with absolute evil. He unleashed a war against our country and kills our fellow citizens every day. The irony is that among those he threatens with death are people who share the same surname as him because, as it turns out, there are several dozen Ukrainians who have the same name as the dictator.

According to the Ridni portal, 93 Ukrainians are unlucky enough to share the surname. Most often, Putins can be found in the eastern and southern regions of Ukraine, but this family name can also be found in the west of our country. The most common names among these people are Serhii and Liudmyla. (To view the map, scroll to the end of the news)

The map shows the highest number of people with this surname in Kharkiv - 8 people. There are 6 Putin in Odesa, which is now regularly shelled by Russians. In the village of Osokorivka in the Kherson region, you can find 5 people with this surname, which is probably the place where they live most densely. Another 4 people live in Donetsk and Kryvyi Rih. In the western regions, the Russian dictator's namesake can be found only in Lviv, Chernivtsi, and Khmelnytskyi regions.

So, by coincidence, it turns out that Russia is most likely to destroy those regions where potential relatives of their dictator can be found. This, of course, is difficult to reconcile with the rhetoric of Russian propaganda about brotherly love between peoples.
