Yeah, that may explain it. Is there an estimate for how many pro-Kiev people fled from the territories captured in 2022?
Edit: That was a stupid question. “Hey you there fleeing, do you by any chance support Kiev?”. I should have asked how many people fled from the territories captured in 2022.
Most of the pro-Kiev people likely fled a while ago. There probably weren’t many of them (even before February) in the LPR and DPR

No idea. TASS probably has some estimates
Yes there is to some degree. Russia has been the largest recipient of ukrainian immigrants in 2022. https://migrationobservatory.ox.ac.uk/resources/briefings/qa-the-uk-and-the-ukraine-refugee-situation/ 2.2 million, followed by 1.3 million in Poland, 1 million in Germany, 400k in czechia.
Now, estimating how many left Russia and assuming they are pro-ukraine for that is more complicated.
