Supply-chain impact

• Donetsk region is a major steel and coal production area in Ukraine, with ongoing military operations negatively affecting industrial facility operations and logistics networks in the region
• Pokrovsk serves as a transportation hub in eastern Ukraine, with heightened military tensions potentially increasing instability of inland logistics routes
• Attacks in the Myrnorhrad area raise concerns about indirect impacts on accessibility to eastern Ukraine's agricultural regions and grain transportation routes
• Continued instability of Ukraine's overall export routes deepens dependence on the Black Sea grain corridor and alternative routes

Watch points

• Need to track the operational status and damage assessment results of major industrial facilities (steel, chemical plants) within Donetsk region
• Monitor transportation network conditions along the Pokrovsk-Myrnorhrad axis and trends in rerouting of eastern Ukraine logistics routes
