Those numbers are pulled right out of someone's ass. No-one really knows how many citizens are for and against the war (there were some hints that the Kremlin did several unofficial polls and really didn't like their results, but nothing supported by good evidence).

Also, you don't need a travel passport to visit relatives in ECU (which Kazakhstan is a member of), and it's pretty much impossible to visit Ukraine legally regardless of whether you have a passport or not.

I have a Russian passport and I've been to Kiev in December 2021. It was just a few months before war has started and talks about possible war was all around the news for months already.

Had no problem crossing Ukraine border control. Of course after war started it became impossible, but it was very much expected.
