There's no majority, it was roughly 50/50 in 2004 during Orange revolution, and the only reason it won was because outside world supported it. I have no idea what's exact percentage now, probably not much different.

Ukraine is very much divided into two parts politically and geographically, and what is best for one is often worst for the other (or at least the majority there thinks that), so no one wants to be a loser. Crimeans tried to distance itself from this constant struggle by running off to another country, but now Ukrainian government declared Crimea an "occupied territory" with truly draconian punishments for collaborating with enemy (Russia), prohibiting money transactions, seriously restricting travelling, etc., so it kinda backfired. I hope they'll abolish these crazy laws before they take root, though.
