I have zero knowledge of the history or geopoliticial millieu there, I know there’s obviously lots of Ukrainians who speak both languages but not sure that translates to them wanting to necessarily join Russia per se.

There are people in Denmark who want to be part of North Korea. So let’s ignore these oddballs.
What Russia loves to do, since like ever, is to drive out natives to a region and plant Russian ethnics there to get a hold of it.
For example this happened to Crimea more than once. Most noteworthy in 1944 when Stalin ordered mass deportations of non Russian ethnicities. Last time was in 2014, when Russia annexed the peninsula and started shipping their own people in. These people are not Ukrainian but their voice still counted when it came to becoming a part of Russia.
Not like Russia gives a fuck about what is right, but it gave them an excuse to bite off a chunk of another country.
