McDonald's has announced plans to reopen outlets in Ukraine, which closed after Russia's invasion in March.
The fast food chain said it hoped the move would help restore a "small but important sense of normalcy".
There will be a phased reopening over the next several months in Kyiv and western Ukraine in areas deemed safe, the burger giant said.
McDonald's had more than 100 restaurants in Ukraine before the conflict started.
The company has continued to pay wages to more than 10,000 staff since then.
"We've spoken extensively to our employees who have expressed a strong desire to return to work and see our restaurants in Ukraine reopen, where it is safe and responsible to do so," senior vice president Paul Pomroy said in a message posted on the firm's website.
