Global Supply Chains and the Impact of the Russia–Ukraine Conflict

ABSTRACT This study examines the impacts of the Russia–Ukraine war on global supply chains across key industries, including food, energy, automotive, electronics, and shipping, and explores the countermeasures employed by these sectors. Using a qualitative methodology, the research synthesizes existing literature, industry reports, and news sources due to the limited availability of peer‐reviewed studies on this crisis. The findings reveal severe disruptions in the energy and food supply chains, while the automotive, electronics, and shipping sectors have faced varying degrees of impact. To address these challenges, this study proposes a strategic framework for enhancing supply chain resilience amid geopolitical crises. Understanding these impacts is crucial for economic and strategic reasons, assisting industries and policymakers to develop risk mitigation strategies, ensure economic stability, and reinforce global business continuity. This study provides valuable insights into the state of various industries’ supply chains during the crisis and their responses, addressing a critical gap in the literature on the impact of conflict on GSCs.
