Don’t forget that Eastern areas of Ukraine are mostly Russian-speaking and linguistic and national questions here are very tied in together. With the reality of the current situation too.
Considering that every territory remaining under Ukraine control after all this will be thoroughly “derussified” and politically cleaned up by nazis like the abandoned areas around Izyum. Fate similar to that which was prepared for DPR and LPR since 2014.
Becoming part of Russia is a need for survival of those people at this point.
Hell, Russia was OK with just giving large minority Russian regions (kharkiv, Donetsk, Luhansk, Odessa) partial autonomy.
That’s what was agreed about Donetsk and Luhansk in the Minsk accords that Zelensky ignored.
