Can you point me towards me a brief overview of Rostov, whose territory it's in, and it's 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.

So I wish I could, maybe ISW ? I’ve been reading their daily updates for a year now, and just absorbed a lot. Dmitri@ war translated is good. There are also some good substacks.

This is a retired Aus general, great info. https://open.substack.com/pub/mickryan/p/prigozhin-crosses-the-rubicon

Also Phillip O’Brien Substack and Andrews substack, literally their name I believe.
