Supply-chain Risk Briefing

1. Summary

On March 14, 2025, Ukrainian forces conducted drone attacks and shelling on the Volokonovsky district in Russia's Belgorod region, damaging infrastructure including gas pipelines and power lines in the village of Tishanka. While there were no casualties, local energy infrastructure was partially damaged with power supply disrupted in two streets.

2. Supply-chain impact

• Border region logistics instability: Belgorod region is near the Russia-Ukraine border, and continued attacks may reduce the safety of overland transport routes
• Energy infrastructure vulnerability: Damage to gas pipelines and power lines raises concerns about unstable energy supply to local industrial facilities and logistics hubs
• Impact on western Russia agricultural region: Belgorod region is a major agricultural production area, and continued attacks may indirectly affect spring planting and agricultural activities
• Border crossing delays: Security deterioration expected to lead to strengthened border inspections and increased logistics transit times

3. Watch points

• Whether there are additional attacks on major transportation hubs and railway infrastructure within Belgorod region and the need for logistics detour routes
• Possibility of operational suspension of local industrial facilities and logistics bases if the Russian government expands civilian evacuation measures in border regions
