Supply-chain Risk Briefing

1. Summary

On March 14, 2025, Russian forces launched artillery attacks on Ukraine's Lviv and Kherson regions. While the specific scale of damage has not been confirmed, the targeting of Lviv, a key logistics hub in western Ukraine, raises concerns about potential impacts on Europe-Ukraine supply chains.

2. Supply-chain impact

• Lviv logistics disruption risk - Located near the Polish border, Lviv serves as a critical transit point for Western aid and commercial trade, with attacks potentially causing transportation delays
• Kherson agricultural region impact - Strikes on the Kherson region, a major grain production area in southern Ukraine, continue to destabilize supply chains for wheat, corn, and other agricultural products
• Western Ukraine logistics network vulnerability exposed - Extension of attack range to previously relatively safe western regions increases the need for alternative transportation routes
• Potential energy infrastructure impact - Both regions contain power and gas transmission facilities, raising possibilities of additional energy supply chain disruptions

3. Watch points

• Lviv-Poland border traffic volume changes - Monitor for decreases in cargo transport volumes and alternative route utilization within the next 48-72 hours
• Scale of agricultural facility damage in Kherson region - Assess damage to agricultural infrastructure including grain storage and processing facilities, and potential disruption to spring planting operations
