In what feels like a return to the dark days of the Cold War, the ongoing crisis between Russia and Ukraine came to a head yesterday as Russian troops crossed the border into Ukraine\u2019s separatist regions.<\/p>\n

Ukraine is said to be the \u2018breadbasket of Europe\u2019 with an abundance of natural products including timber products such as Pine, Spruce and Oak.<\/p>\n

While Ukraine is certainly a potential source of raw materials in the future, recent timber imports from Ukraine have been restricted, quite rightly, by the concerns raised in the EU joint-enforcement position issued in May 2021.<\/p>\n

While we are currently awaiting full year-end figures for 2021 to become available, Ukraine was responsible for 1,947m\u00b3 of imports in 2020.<\/p>\n

Given the political difficulties with Russia, forestry management changes are unlikely to have figured within the Ukraine Government list of priorities, so it is anticipated UK traders will have heeded the warnings from the EU and NGOs and undertaken fewer purchases from Ukraine during 2021.<\/p>\n

An area of the conflict we will watch closely is the sanctions imposed on Russia, the first of which were announced yesterday afternoon. Though purely financial at this stage, it is likely sanctions will go further in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n

Russian timber accounts for a sizeable section of UK softwood, hardwood and plywood imports, with a total of 456,810m\u00b3 imported last year alone.<\/p>\n

It is also worth noting the potential macro-economic impact this conflict may have, with further energy and inflationary pressure likely.<\/p>\n

Russia is a large exporter of gas into Europe, and a further escalation in the conflict is likely to increase already high fuel prices on the continent.<\/p>\n

Though the UK imports very little Russian gas directly, a rise in European energy prices is likely to affect the logistical costs of timber imports in the UK.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
