Supply-chain Risk Briefing

Summary

On March 14, 2025, Russian forces conducted mortar attacks on the Marchyhyna Buda area in Ukraine's Sumy Oblast. While the extent of damage has not yet been confirmed, ongoing military activities in Ukraine's northeastern border region have generated moderate-level supply-chain risks.

Supply-chain impact

• Sumy Oblast is one of Ukraine's major agricultural regions, with grain and agricultural production facilities exposed to attack risks
• Given its geographical proximity to the Russian border, transportation infrastructure and logistics networks face continuous threats, with potential for inland transport route disruptions
• Risk of production shutdowns exists if local manufacturing facilities and energy infrastructure become additional targets of attack
• Concerns over labor force displacement and economic activity contraction due to border region instability

Watch points

• Status of major transportation networks and railway connections within Sumy Oblast and whether additional military activities occur
• Need to confirm damage scale to agricultural production facilities and grain storage facilities in Ukraine's northeastern region
