Supply-chain Risk Briefing

1) Summary On March 14, 2025, Russian forces conducted drone and artillery attacks on the Marhanets area in Ukraine's Dnipropetrovsk Oblast. There were no casualties, but the region, located near Dnipro, a major Ukrainian industrial center, continues to be a target of sustained attacks. This is assessed as a medium-grade risk.

2) Supply-chain impact

• Dnipropetrovsk Oblast is a major steel production region in Ukraine, with continued attacks acting as an indirect pressure factor on steel raw materials and semi-finished product supplies
• Marhanets is a transportation hub located along the Dnipro River, presenting potential disruption risks to inland waterway and overland transport networks
• Frequent attacks in this region exacerbate operational uncertainties in Ukraine's southern-central industrial belt, affecting manufacturing supply chain continuity
• Instability in areas near the Dnipro metropolitan region could act as an indirect risk factor for some of Ukraine's grain export routes

3) Watch points

• Need to track whether attacks escalate against major industrial facilities (steel, chemical) within Dnipropetrovsk Oblast
• Important to monitor attempts to target Dnipro River waterway and nearby railway infrastructure
