Supply-chain Risk Briefing

1) Summary On March 14, Russian forces conducted an airstrike on Senkivka in Ukraine's Chernihiv Oblast using what is presumed to be bomber drones. The scale of damage has not yet been confirmed, but this represents a medium-grade incident showing the continuation of attacks in Ukraine's northern border region.

2) Supply-chain impact

• Operational disruption in northern Ukraine's agricultural region - Chernihiv Oblast is a major grain-producing area, with ongoing risk factors affecting planting and agricultural activities
• Instability in logistics networks near Belarus border - Border region attacks may constrain use of alternative transport routes and increase shipping costs
• Potential risk to energy infrastructure - Continued drone attack patterns raise concerns about strikes on regional power grids and fuel supply chains
• Indirect impact on agricultural export routes - Northern region instability intensifies dependence on western export routes such as the Danube River

3) Watch points

• Whether additional attacks occur within Chernihiv Oblast - Increased frequency of drone attacks could lead to full-scale contraction of regional agricultural and logistics activities
• Changes in Ukrainian grain export volumes - Need to track the impact of northern production region instability on overall export volumes
