The lands occupied by Russia hold 3-5 million people. Where is this mass resistance and insurgency?

But isn't the already occupied area the most pro-Russian/ethnically Russian part of the Ukraine? Is it realistic to assume that the other 20 mil (your target of 25 mil - 5 mil already under Russian occupation) won't revolt against Ru administration? The 2 peoples were and remain genetically brothers, but after this war it's hard for me to believe Ukrainians will still look friendly to their Russian Slavic brothers (and this change already started after Donbas 2014 war, no?)

There have been protests in the occupied regions, problem is fear as the military is firmly entrenched in their land as well as the general devastation Russia has inflicted on the region.
