Odessa isn't in the Eastern Ukraine. It's in the south on the Black Sea.

The problem is the people who took over have even less support than the people they threw out because the at least the people who were overthrown were elected in legal elections. If there are problems for the Kiev "government" in Odessa, there will be problems for them in Kiev as well before long.
