Supply-chain Risk Briefing

1. Summary

On March 14, 2025, the Russian Air Force conducted an airstrike on Hranyiv in Ukraine's Kharkiv Oblast, but the extent of damage is currently unknown. Kharkiv Oblast in northeastern Ukraine, being a border region with Russia, continues to be a target of sustained attacks and is classified as medium-level risk.

2. Supply-chain impact

• Agricultural sector: Kharkiv Oblast is one of Ukraine's major grain-producing regions, and continued attacks may negatively impact spring sowing operations and agricultural infrastructure
• Manufacturing base: Kharkiv is a major Ukrainian industrial city where manufacturers of machinery, aircraft components, and other products may experience operational shutdowns or production disruptions
• Logistics network: Continued attacks on border regions with Russia reduce the safety of northeastern logistics routes and increase dependence on alternative pathways
• Energy supply: Potential strikes on regional power infrastructure raise concerns about unstable electricity supply to nearby industrial zones and civilian facilities

3. Watch points

• Need to confirm follow-up reports on damage scale to major industrial facilities and agricultural infrastructure within Kharkiv Oblast
• Track changes in Russia's attack patterns on Ukraine's northeastern border regions and whether intensity is increasing
• Assess cumulative impact on Ukrainian grain export routes and manufacturing production volumes
