What happened

On the night of March 14, during a missile attack on Kyiv and the region, three ballistic missiles struck a branch of TM "Kuriyar" near the capital. According to the company's website, the strike destroyed the distribution center: warehouse premises covering 360 m², loading ramps and staff areas were damaged, and transport was partially affected.

"Fortunately, there were no casualties or injured among the company's personnel. Currently, company employees are working promptly at the site and are clearing the rubble."

Consequences for supplies and the market

The distribution center supplied poultry to Kyiv and the central regions. Its loss is not only the destruction of property but also a temporary deterioration of logistics: delivery delays, additional costs for rerouting goods, and the risk of local shortages or price increases. For consumers, this means the market will adapt through inventories, alternative routes and temporary carriers.

Context: investments and recovery

The "Kuriyar" logistics center was ceremonially opened on February 23 — less than a month before the attack. On February 17 the company secured 1 billion UAH in financing from PUMB bank for logistics modernization, automation and deep processing of products. Now investments and modernization plans face the threat of delays, underscoring that agri-sector infrastructure is an easy target in the conflict with economic consequences.

At the same time, on the night of March 14 the warehouses of the "Restorany Husovskykh" group outside Kyiv were also destroyed, indicating a pattern of strikes against food-sector logistics in the region.

What this means and what to do next

Damage to infrastructure forces rapid work on several fronts: restoring damaged sites, rerouting supply chains, providing insurance and financial mechanisms for businesses, and ensuring government coordination to avoid an impact on the public's access to food. The logistics community and companies are already activating alternative networks — this demonstrates the market's operational resilience, but the question of recovery and protection of investments remains open.

Whether existing stocks and backup routes will be enough to avoid shortages and curb price rises depends on the speed of infrastructure recovery and partners' readiness to convert financial pledges into concrete actions. This is a test for the entire supply chain: from producer to supermarket.

EU Against Google: Why the Latest Fine Could Change More Than Previous Ones

# European Regulators Target Google Again — This Time Over Digital Markets Act Violations. What's Behind the Accusations and Why It Matters Beyond the Corporation European regulators have renewed their scrutiny of Google, this time focusing on alleged violations of the Digital Markets Act. The charges underscore Brussels' increasingly aggressive stance on big tech monopolies and what officials say are anticompetitive practices. The accusations center on how Google leverages its dominance across multiple digital services — from search to advertising to mobile platforms — to disadvantage competitors. Regulators claim the company is using its market power in ways that stifle innovation and limit consumer choice. The case carries significance far beyond Google itself. It signals how the EU is attempting to enforce its landmark Digital Markets Act, legislation designed to curb the gatekeeping power of tech giants. A potential penalty could set precedent for how other large technology companies face similar scrutiny. For consumers and smaller tech firms, the outcome could reshape the digital landscape by creating more room for competition. For Google, fines and operational restrictions could fundamentally alter its business model in Europe, the world's most stringent regulatory market. The case also reflects a broader geopolitical divide, with the EU pursuing a regulatory approach that contrasts sharply with the lighter-touch oversight favored in the United States.
