It's certainly the case that some of Ukraine's population supported the coup, fascism has been actively cultivated there for decades (see Operation Bloodstone) and the Banderite cult has shown itself to be alive and well. That said, they do not represent all of Ukraine, particularly not the massive Russian population who make up the majority in the eastern part of the country (nor the other minorities like the Poles, Jews, Romani, etc.)
I don't know enough about the proportions of demographics to give you a more numerical estimate, but the coup did throw out an elected leader, which inclines me to say that it was more likely a large minority sentiment using force to get its way when a system that got more widespread input (liberal though it was) didn't work for them.
Here's an alright article on the topic:
