Supply-chain Risk Briefing

1) Summary On March 14, 2025, Russian-Ukrainian military clashes occurred near Hrodivka in Ukraine's Donetsk Oblast. Russian forces conducted airstrikes, with reported Russian military losses of 199 personnel (98 killed) across 15 areas including Pokrovsk. High-intensity combat continues on the eastern front, with serious disruptions expected to regional logistics networks.

2) Supply-chain impact

• Donetsk industrial zone paralysis: The Pokrovsk-Hrodivka area serves as a major industrial axis in eastern Ukraine, with potential damage to steel and chemical production facilities and railway connections
• Agricultural supply chain disruption: Combat zones are located in Ukraine's major grain-producing regions, causing disruptions to spring planting activities and grain transportation routes
• Energy infrastructure risks: Donetsk Oblast's power transmission and distribution networks and gas pipelines face damage risks from military operations
• East-west transportation network severance: Road and railway network disruptions in the region increase the need for detour transportation between western and eastern areas

3) Watch points

• Front line movement patterns: Whether Pokrovsk defense lines hold and trends in control over nearby industrial facilities
• Infrastructure damage scale: Need to confirm actual damage levels to key logistics infrastructure including railway stations, bridges, and power facilities
• Alternative route establishment: Monitoring the status of alternative transportation network construction through western regions and the extent of transportation cost increases
