Supply-chain Risk Briefing

1. Summary

On March 14, 2025, Ukrainian forces conducted drone attacks and artillery strikes on the Volokonovka district in Russia's Belgorod region. Two areas including Stary village were hit, but no casualties were reported. This was classified as a medium-level border region attack.

2. Supply-chain impact

• Agricultural production disruption: Belgorod region is a major grain-producing area in Russia, and continued border attacks could affect spring sowing operations and agricultural activities
• Energy infrastructure risk: Power transmission lines and gas pipelines in Russia's western border regions could be exposed to additional attack risks
• Logistics network instability: Road and rail transport near the border may face security constraints, indirectly affecting logistics flows between Russia's interior and Western Europe
• Regional manufacturing operation delays: Possibility of temporary production shutdowns or personnel evacuation measures due to safety concerns

3. Watch points

• Changes in attack frequency and intensity: Need to track whether attacks within Belgorod region expand or develop into strikes on strategic facilities
• Russian government response measures: Monitor the impact of enhanced border security or civilian evacuation orders on regional economic activities
