Supply-chain Risk Briefing

1) Summary On March 14, 2025, Ukrainian forces conducted 2 drone attacks and 2 artillery strikes (estimated 17 rounds) targeting 3 areas within the Borisovsky district of Russia's Belgorod Oblast, with Gruzskoye village among the areas hit. While there were no casualties, this demonstrates the ongoing pattern of cross-border attacks in the border region.

2) Supply-chain impact

  • Agricultural production risk: Belgorod Oblast is one of Russia's major grain-producing regions, and continued attacks could disrupt spring planting season agricultural activities and farm machinery operations
  • Energy infrastructure vulnerability: Energy infrastructure including power transmission networks and gas pipelines in the Russia-Ukraine border region are exposed to cross-border attacks, increasing supply stability risks
  • Overland logistics constraints: Road networks and railway transport near the border face increased need for alternative routing due to military operations, creating upward pressure on logistics costs

3) Watch points

  • Whether additional attacks occur on agricultural facilities and storage facilities within Belgorod Oblast, and the scale of agricultural activity disruptions during spring planting season
  • Intensity of Russian retaliatory attacks and potential for strikes on energy facilities in Ukraine's border regions
