Supply-chain Risk Briefing

1) Summary Ukrainian forces recaptured the Fyholivka area in Kharkiv Oblast on March 14, 2025, after clashes with Russian forces. This represents territorial recovery in the Kharkiv region and suggests changing front-line conditions in northeastern Ukraine.

2) Supply-chain impact

• Kharkiv is a major Ukrainian industrial center, and territorial recovery increases the possibility of resuming operations for machinery and metalworking companies
• Stabilization of the Kharkiv region adjacent to the Russian border could contribute to improved access to northeastern Ukraine's agricultural areas
• Military tensions due to front-line changes are expected to continue causing instability in regional logistics and transportation networks
• Infrastructure reconstruction needs in recaptured territories are expected to increase demand for construction materials and energy supplies

3) Watch points

• Need to track additional territorial changes in the Kharkiv region and whether the front line stabilizes
• Confirm the scale of damage to industrial facilities in recaptured areas and reconstruction schedules
• Monitor the possibility of Russian counterattacks and risk of strikes on civilian infrastructure in the region
