Eastern Europe is a continental climate. This is where winters are cold and summers are hot, basically a huge contrast between seasons.
The mediterranean climate is subtropical. Eastern Europe has a so-called land climate: hot in summer, cold in winter. Northern Europe has a so-called subarctic climate, in the west tempered by the influence of the (warm) Gulf stream.

Illinois has a Humid Continental Climate. Eastern Europe as well as Southwestern Russia has this climate as well.

Since Western Europe has more surface area in contact to water in summer it gets less hotter and in winter it has more moderate climate than Eastern Europe because the sea helps in radiating the heat and cold. The Sea in the West is more moderate in temprature so it helps the western Europe

Well there are only four main climate zones in Europe, so if they are not a part of the list, then they are not a main climate zone in Europe. The main climate zones are Mediterranean Climate, Continental Climate, Oceanic Climate, and Subarctic Climate. These climate zones may also be expressed as regions: Southern Europe, Eastern Europe, Western Europe, and Northern Europe.
Eastern Europe has a Continental Climate which means that winters are cold and summer are hot (temperature drastically changes between seasons). Climates have to do with latitude, area, etc. The placement of Eastern Europe just makes it capable of having a Continental Climate.
No countries in Western Europe has any sort of continental climate, as this type of climate is distinctly found only in Eastern Europe. Most Western European nations have an oceanic climate.
Western Europe has areas of both Mediterranean and Maritime Climate.
