Supply-chain Risk Briefing

1. Summary

On March 14, 2025, Russian forces conducted shelling on Mykhailivka in Ukraine's Kherson Oblast, with casualty figures remaining unconfirmed. The ongoing military tensions in the Kherson Oblast region are assessed as medium-level risk.

2. Supply-chain impact

• Agricultural production disruption: Kherson Oblast is a major grain-producing region in Ukraine, and continued shelling could negatively impact agricultural activities during the spring planting season
• Dnipro River logistics network risk: Kherson is a major port city on the lower Dnipro River, and sustained attacks in the region raise concerns about disruptions to inland waterway transportation
• Energy infrastructure vulnerability: Risk of regional industrial production shutdown if power grids and gas supply facilities within Kherson Oblast become targets of additional attacks
• Humanitarian logistics delays: Potential disruptions to relief supplies and essential goods supply chain operations if civilian infrastructure damage spreads

3. Watch points

• Additional attacks on agricultural areas in Kherson Oblast: Need to track the extent of agricultural activity disruptions during the March-April planting season and changes in grain production outlook
• Dnipro River waterway navigation status: Monitoring required for inland logistics rerouting due to damage to Kherson port and surrounding riverside facilities
