Those whose first language is Russian? That would include people like Zelensky, so there must be more to it than that.
As above, plus they see themselves as Russian rather than Ukrainian? Maybe ...
A survey by Pew Research Center found that in eastern Ukraine 58% of Russian speakers wanted the country to remain united, while 27% thought regions should be allowed to secede if they wished.

That was in 2014. How many still see themselves as Russian after Putin’s special operation is anybody’s guess. Kharkiv, for example, is majority Russian-speaking.

P.S. How’s the de-nazification going? Has anyone heard?
