Russian Attacks Break Ukraine Dairy Supply Chains, Threatening Store Shelves Across Major Retail Networks

Summary
Destroyed distribution warehouses have left Ukraine’s major retail chains unable to fully move dairy products, raising the risk of empty store shelves even when factories still have supply.
Olena Zhupinas of the Association of Milk Producers said the main breakdown is between factories and retailers: goods once sent through large distribution hubs now struggle to reach stores because those warehouses are gone.
Retailers are searching for alternative warehouses, but for now producers are expected to supply mainly nearby regions rather than ship nationwide through the old network.
Kyiv could temporarily lose dairy brands from western cities such as Lviv’s Halychyna and Ternopil’s Molokia, while closer suppliers like Dairy Alliance and Vyshneve Dairy Plant may fill some gaps.
