Supply-chain Risk Briefing

1) Summary On March 14, 2025, Russia-Ukraine military clashes occurred near Dniproenergia in Donetsk Oblast, Ukraine. While casualties have not been confirmed, ongoing armed conflicts in the eastern front region continue to pose risks to industrial facilities and logistics networks in the area.

2) Supply-chain impact

• Energy infrastructure risk: Dniproenergia is adjacent to the Dnipro Hydroelectric Power Plant, and military activities around Ukraine's major power generation hubs act as destabilizing factors for the power supply chain
• Steel and metals industry impact: Donetsk Oblast is Ukraine's traditional steel production region, and continued conflicts raise concerns about disruptions to steel raw materials and semi-finished product exports
• Agricultural logistics disruption: Disruptions to grain transportation routes in the eastern region may indirectly affect the global supply chain for agricultural products such as wheat and corn
• Chemical industry facility risk: Concerns about supply disruptions for fertilizers and chemical raw materials due to operational shutdowns or production decreases at chemical complexes in the Donetsk region

3) Watch points

• Need to track damage to the Dnipro Hydroelectric Power Plant and surrounding power infrastructure facilities and changes in Ukraine's power grid stability
• Required monitoring of major industrial facility (steel, chemical) utilization rates within Donetsk Oblast and changes in export port accessibility
