Supply-chain Risk Briefing

1) Summary On March 14, 2025, Russia-Ukraine military clashes occurred near Bilohorivka in Ukraine's Luhansk Oblast. While the specific scale of casualties has not yet been confirmed, ongoing armed conflicts in the eastern front region are causing moderate-level supply-chain risks.

2) Supply-chain impact

• Agricultural production disruption: Luhansk Oblast is a major grain-producing region in Ukraine, and continued armed conflict may negatively impact spring planting agricultural activities
• Energy infrastructure risks: Eastern Ukraine's power transmission and gas pipeline networks are exposed to damage risks from military operations
• Logistics route constraints: Disruption of eastern Ukraine's overland transport routes and railway networks raises concerns about delays in western aid supplies and export cargo movement
• Manufacturing production halt: Continued suspension or reduced operations of industrial facilities including steel and chemical plants in the eastern region

3) Watch points

• Whether additional military operations expand in the Luhansk-Donetsk area and confirmation of civilian infrastructure damage scale
• Tracking changes in Ukraine's grain export corridor (Black Sea-Danube River route) operational status
• Monitoring ripple effects on European natural gas supply chains and alternative supply route activation status
