Does as ordered in the Ukraine (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

odessa

'in the ukraine' is the definition.
('Odessa' is part of 'ukraine')

'does as ordered' is the wordplay.
'ordered' is an anagram indicator.
'does'+'as'='doesas'
'doesas' with letters rearranged gives 'ODESSA'.

(Other definitions for odessa that I've seen before include "Battleship Potemkin mutiny port" , "Ukrainian location" , "Ukrainian naval base" , "Seaport" , "Do seas come into Ukrainian city?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
