McDonald’s To Close All 850 Restaurants In Russia

Following Russia’s ongoing  bombardment of Ukraine over its decision to join NATO, McDonald’s has announced that it will  temporarily close all its 850 restaurants in Russia.

It also indicated that  it would suspend other operations in Russia.
Tuesday’s decision by McDonald’s joins an expanding list of western brands decisions to review  their presence following  President Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine.

MacDonald’s is an American company. U.S, apart from its project,NATO, is  Ukraine’s number one backer in its present ordeal, although the Russian number one nightmare has not been able to effectively support Ukraine militarily. At some point, the Ukranian government accused its western allies, including the United Stated of abandoning them, having only announced diplomatic and economic sanctions against Russia.

According to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the country is prepared to face the war, Russia’s superior military powers notwithstanding.

McDonald’s was first opened in Moscow in January 1990 and was considered one of the markers of the end of the Soviet Union, with over 30,000 people queuing up to buy a burger.

Russia will no doubt take a hit on the  temporary suspension of MacDonald’s operations.
