REUTERS/StringerLONDON, June 24 (Reuters) - Following are facts about oil, gas and grains flows in Russia's southern region of Rostov, where the capital Rostov-on-Don was seized by Russian mercenaries.
Russia's main grain exporting terminals on the Black Sea are further south, and this area has been unaffected by the developments so far.
OIL & GASThe region of Rostov is not a major energy producer but several big oil and gas pipelines cross its territory.
Russia is the world's second largest oil exporter after Saudi Arabia.
Russia's pipeline monopoly Transneft controls many pump stations on the route, including in the Rostov region.
