By launching a military intervention in Ukraine, Vladimir Putin has become one of the most hated personalities on the planet. His family suffers the consequences: Maria Vorontsova, the daughter of the Russian president, sees a big project compromised. To make matters worse, she and her husband would be separated and close to divorce.
The info is signed DailyMail ! Quoting exiled journalist Roman Dobrokhotov (of The Insider newspaper, author of an investigation into corruption in the Kremlin), the British tabloid reveals that Maria Vorontsova and her husband, Dutch businessman Jorrit Faassen, are separated. They reportedly broke up before the start of the Russian military operation in Ukraine, launched on February 24, 2022. The couple have children, whose identities are not known. Their grandfather Vladimir Putin never officially recognized them.
Maria Vorontsova (real name Mariya Vladimirovna Putina) is the eldest daughter of Vladimir Putin and his ex-wife Lyoudmila. She was born on April 28, 1985 in Leningrad (now Saint Petersburg), in the former USSR, to which her father (who was still a KGB agent at the time) was so dear.
Maria works as a children’s endocrinologist. She is involved in a project to build a luxury medical center for wealthy patients near her hometown.
“The plan was to attract patients from Europe and wealthy sheikhs from the Gulf countries. And now, after the attack in Ukraine, what kind of Europeans and sheikhs will come?“, wondered Sergey Kanev, Russian investigative journalist also exiled.
Maria Vorontsova is not the only member of the Putin family to feel the pressure of international outrage after the Russian army entered Ukraine. In addition to the numerous demonstrations, the president’s ex-son-in-law, Kirill Nikolayevich Chamalov (ex-husband of Katerina Tikhonova, Vladimir Putin’s daughter) was targeted. Tags in the colors of Ukraine were drawn on his large house located on avenue du Général Mac-Croskey, in Biarritz.
