Well, that's depends on what's your definition of "Pro-Russia"
Pro-Russia in Ukraine can mean you have a cordial view of Russia, or you speak Russia or more precisely "Russo-phone" people. If this is the definition of "Pro-Russia" then up to 80% of the entire Population is Pro-Russia
But if your definition of Pro-Russia is to take up arms and fight your local government, and you rather be Russian then Ukrainian, those people represent a very small population even before 2014, those people are in small portion of the population, and they are mostly living in the East. .
I just today talked to a girl in Australia, she is from Mariupol, she is "Pro-Russia", she speak Russian, she was Russian Educated, and she is, well, was, a fan of Putin and she think 2014 Crimea is acceptable, yet she think the invasion of Ukraine is unacceptable. There are red line Ukrainian, regardless of your ethnicity, will not cross, a general invasion is one of them.
Come on? Brother you think Ukraine was 80% pro-Russian prior to the invasion? I Know what you are trying to do here perhpas you are pro-Russia in this conflict but I am entirely neutral in this conflict.I don't believe in 80% that is slightly over the top figure because Ukraine has been radicalized against Russia for decades now and it only increased during the Maiden revolution. The figure is around max 10% prior to war
