How is it better / more correct to organize the storage of a large amount of images on s3 for the fastest access to them by url?
Put it in subfolders like that /buket/c4c/a42/38a0b923820dcc509a6f75849b.jpg
or for s3 there is no difference and you can put everything in the root - /buket/38a0b923820dcc509a6f75849b.jpg ?

Correct "bu c ket", not "buket".
The logical volume of a disk is analogous to a bouquet in S3. Therefore, files are not simply placed in the root of the volume. It's better to put all the files in some "ProgX" folder. For S3, the nesting level of folders does not matter, because it's just a path to a file. Folder splitting is needed only when you need to emulate a tree hierarchy like on disks.
If the path data for all required files is available in advance (the path data is stored in the application's DBMS), i.e. it is not required to search the entire bouquet using "list objects", then you can put it in the root of the "ProgX" folder:

NB
If data needs to be served to web clients, then it is faster to serve it with a caching content server, Amazon CloudFront.
