Supply-chain Risk Briefing

1. Summary

On March 14, 2025, Russian forces shelled Zelenivka in Ukraine's Kherson Oblast. Classified as a medium-risk explosive incident, the scale of casualties has not been confirmed. Kherson Oblast is a key agricultural region in southern Ukraine where continuous military operations are ongoing.

2. Supply-chain impact

• Agricultural production disruption: Kherson Oblast is a major grain-producing region in Ukraine, and continuous shelling will negatively impact spring planting and agricultural activities
• Logistics infrastructure risk: Limited accessibility to road and railway networks in the Kherson region may delay transportation of agricultural products and other goods
• Energy supply chain: Continuous threats to southern Ukraine's power grid and energy infrastructure create operational instability for nearby industrial facilities
• Black Sea grain corridor: Increased instability in Black Sea port access routes near Kherson raises concerns about disruptions to grain export routes

3. Watch points

• Attack patterns across Kherson Oblast agricultural areas: Whether the frequency and scope of attacks targeting agricultural activities during planting season (March-May) will expand
• Southern Ukraine energy infrastructure: Monitoring attempts to strike critical infrastructure facilities such as power grids and gas pipelines
• Black Sea grain export trends: Cascading effects of Kherson region instability on grain export port operations such as Odesa port
