Summary

On March 14, 2025, Russian forces conducted artillery attacks on Shliakhove in Ukraine's Kherson Oblast, with casualty figures unconfirmed. The Kherson region is an agricultural hub along the Black Sea coast where ongoing military tensions persist.

Supply-chain impact

• Kherson Oblast is a major grain-producing region in Ukraine, with potential impacts on agricultural supply chains for wheat, corn, sunflower seeds, and other crops
• Continued operational instability of agricultural infrastructure and storage facilities in Black Sea coastal areas
• Increased reliance on alternative Danube River downstream export routes, creating upward pressure on logistics costs
• Constraints on agricultural labor and equipment operations in southern Ukraine

Watch points

• Monitor export route changes in connection with Black Sea Grain Initiative resumption negotiation developments
