Myndigheterna i dessa städer är lojala mot interimregeringen i Kiev. Men du anser att smärre grupper ryska provokatörer och uppviglare, som saknar all makt överhuvudtaget (förutom möjligen att skada eller döda enskilda ukrainare) representerar dessa städer? Exempelvis Anton Davydchenko:

Ukrainian Security Service officers have arrested an organizer of a pro-Moscow demonstration in Odessa, prompting a protest rally by dozens of his allies.
Supporters of Anton Davydchenko, the leader of the Youth Unity organization, held vigil in front of the Security Service offices in the Black Sea port in the early hours on Tuesday, facing dozens of police officers who blockaded the building, Interfax-Ukraine reported.
The protesters, who included Davydchenko's mother and brother, chanted: "Free Anton," "Return the son to his mother," and "Glory to Russia." Several of the protesters tried to storm the building but retreated, the report said.

It began with perhaps 1,000 demonstrators gathered around reliable symbols snubbing the West: hammer-and-sickle banners, signs decrying NATO, and elderly men, in uniform, reminding the crowd of the terrible suffering, and ultimate victory, of Soviet soldiers and citizens who helped defeat Nazi Germany in World War II.
One huge banner at the base of the Lenin statue read, “Our homeland: USSR!”
The message was explicit and part of the common pro-Kremlin sentiment surrounding Ukraine. Ukraine’s interim government is “fascist,” and extraordinary measures are needed to counter it.
“It is the working people of Kharkiv who are here,” Ilya K. Kiyuk said. “They have come to join Russia, because we cannot hold back the fascists any longer.”
