Supply-chain Risk Briefing

Summary On March 14, 2025, Russian forces announced they shot down 4 Ukrainian drones over the Moscow region. While there were no casualties, continued drone attacks on Russia's capital region pose ongoing potential threats to energy and logistics infrastructure.

Supply-chain impact

• The Moscow region serves as Russia's political and economic center with major logistics hub functions, and drone attacks could trigger aviation traffic controls or enhanced security measures at logistics facilities, causing transportation delays
• Energy infrastructure in western Russia (oil pipelines, power grids) may become targets of drone attacks, raising concerns about intermittent disruptions to energy supplies to Europe
• Manufacturing companies near Moscow face risks of temporary production halts due to air raid alerts or security measures
• Should the Moscow Ring Road and major railway networks, which are key to Russia's inland transportation network, face security restrictions, ripple effects on inland logistics could occur

Watch points

• Flight operations status in the Moscow region and potential operational shutdowns at major airports including Domodedovo and Sheremetyevo
• Trends in additional attack attempts or security measure reinforcements at western Russian oil pipeline facilities (including the Druzhba pipeline) and gas pipeline infrastructure
