Supply-chain Risk Briefing

1. Summary

On March 14, 2025, one Ukrainian drone crashed into an abandoned building on Resteva Street in southern Moscow, causing a roof fire with no casualties. The drone attack near central Moscow reconfirmed vulnerabilities in logistics and infrastructure within the Russian capital region.

2. Supply-chain impact

• Moscow logistics hub risks: Drone infiltration into Moscow, Russia's largest economic center, increases potential threats to key logistics infrastructure including major transportation networks, warehouse facilities, and airports
• Energy supply chains: Moscow serves as a critical control hub for Russian natural gas and crude oil pipelines, and sustained attacks could become a destabilizing factor for global energy supply chains
• Air transport disruptions: Enhanced Moscow airspace controls due to drone infiltration raise concerns about cargo transport delays at Domodedovo and Sheremetyevo airports
• Metal and agricultural exports: Operational disruptions at major trading companies based in Moscow could affect global commodity trading of Russian aluminum, nickel, wheat, and other raw materials

3. Watch points

• Changes in Moscow airspace control levels and whether major airports (Domodedovo/Sheremetyevo) return to normal operations
• Trends in operational constraints on industrial complexes and energy facilities near Moscow due to strengthened Russian air defense systems
