Pro-Russia parties got less than 10% of the vote in the last election. It is hard to imagine that the sentiment moved in Putins favor since then. Putin is invading a country that nearly unanimously opposes him with troops that thought that they were just there for an exercise and don't really want to invade their brother country.

  There are multiple pro European parties, but only one pro Russian party.

There are very few districts, that have more than 50% support for the pro-Russian party. You also can't assume that the voters that voted for a pro Russian party want to be part of Russia and support the invasion.
