Ukraine invasion rattles global supply chains
Russia’s war against Ukraine will impact supplies of metals, noble gases and more
As Russia’s offensive on Ukraine continues, manufacturing activities and exports from Ukraine are severely impaired or have ceased. Russia itself is subject to a growing list of economic sanctions by dozens of countries, and companies with operational links to Russia are evaluating their options. London-listed shares of Russian state-owned gas supplier Gazprom tumbled 50% on 28 February, and Shell said it would exit its joint venture with the company. BP committed to selling or writing off its 20% stake in Russian state oil company Rosneft, held since 2013.
