Is it Lukashenka or Lukashenko?

I thought in Slavic languages the A was feminine, and the O masculine, like Spanish?

“Is it Lukashenka or Lukashenko?”

Sometimes people feminize his name to be insulting. They joke that his second job is being first lady of Russia.

Putin’s daughters are named “Putina” in Russian.

Fun fact: In Spanish, “Putina” means “little whore”.
