Quite a good coverage indeed, it's strange that they don't cover the "Russian-side" of Ukraine at all, while they cover Crimea which is totally Russian-speaking. BTW I travelled quite a lot around Crimea and Odessa and I could hardly see a shop selling CDMA phones or CDMA advertising in streets...

P.S. I'm fond of non existing countries! I passed very close to PMR last year and to Abkhazia and Nagorno Karabakh this year, but never entered... what a pity!
