Can you point me towards me a brief overview of Rostov, whose territory it’s in, and its strategic importance? I’ve mostly been following the geopolitics of the war and not the actual fronts/troop movements except at a very very high level.
Rostov is In Russia a border city Rostov is east of Mariupol Ukraine. it being a border city strategically it’s logistic point, it’s very far from the front, a disruption here could potentially assist Ukraine in wearing down points at the front this may sow chaos in Russian command,break morale.
