How many signers are native Ukrainian-speaking?

Looks like Kiev’s authority doesn’t run far in the Russian-speaking east.

As per various maps -- you can google them -- the Donetsk etc. regions are not "russian speaking" in the sense of being majorities like in Crimea (anywhere from 60 to 70% Russians there), but are less than 50%.

However, also remember that in these areas there are Ukrainians who speak Russian as their native tongue but feel Ukrainian, unlike in Crimea where there were folks who felt Russian
