Not only do they supply fertilisers to the agricultural sector, but they also provide strategic chemical products required for the manufacture of explosives and other military-grade components. Damage to large chemical plants could have a significant impact on Russia\u2019s industrial production and the supply chains supporting its defence sector.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 16px !important; font-style: italic !important; color: #444444 !important; line-height: 1.6 !important; text-transform: none !important; border-left: 4px solid #888888 !important; padding-left: 18px !important; margin: 25px 0 !important; display: block !important;\">\u00abOfficial information regarding the extent of the damage to the facility is currently being verified.
