How do they know whether the conscriptees are pro Russian or not?

He'll just invade claiming he's protecting Russian speakers.
Though quite how them speaking Russian makes them Russian citizens is beyond me.
That would be a bit like us invading Ireland now to protect them from the EU. A complete farce.
