Supply-chain Risk Briefing

1. Summary

A Russia-Ukraine military conflict occurred near Hrihorivka in Donetsk, Ukraine on March 14, 2025. While casualty figures remain unconfirmed, ongoing military activities in the Donetsk region are highly likely to impact local industrial infrastructure and logistics networks.

2. Supply-chain impact

• Agricultural production disruption: Donetsk is a major grain-producing region in Ukraine, with sustained armed conflict posing risks to spring planting operations and agricultural infrastructure operations
• Steel and coal supply-chain instability: The Donetsk region is a traditional heavy industry hub, with steel production facilities and coal mining activities potentially halted or scaled back due to military operations
• Land transport route constraints: If transportation networks around Donetsk are diverted or controlled due to military activities, logistics connectivity between eastern and western Ukraine may deteriorate
• Power infrastructure vulnerability: If power facilities near conflict zones become attack targets, risks of industrial production shutdowns due to widespread blackouts

3. Watch points

• Conflict escalation: Need to track additional intensification of front lines near Hrihorivka or expansion of combat to nearby cities
• Infrastructure damage scale: Monitor damage levels to critical infrastructure facilities including roads, railways, and power grids, and recovery schedules
• Civilian evacuation situation: Check local resident evacuation scales and availability of industrial facility operating personnel
