On Monday, it said it would seek to have a Russian buyer hire its employees and pay them until the sale closes. It didn't identify a prospective buyer. McDonald's said it plans to start removing golden arches and other symbols and signs with its name.
As part of the exit, McDonald's expects to record a non-cash charge of about $1.2 billion to $1.4 billion.
'The humanitarian crisis caused by the war in Ukraine, and the precipitating unpredictable operating environment, have led McDonald's to conclude that continued ownership of the business in Russia is no longer tenable,' it said.

‘However, we have a commitment to our global community and must remain steadfast in our values,’ Mr Kempczinski said in a statement, ‘and our commitment to our values means that we can no longer keep the arches shining there.’

Just keep on isolating Russia.
And you’re going to find you’ve replaced The Kaiser with Hitler.
Now the lifespan of the average Russian might go up.
For what this is really about...

Read the last paragraph.
Russia will just clone every one of these businesses, so they aren’t missing a thing.
If you want McDonalds in Russia, just look for your local Макдональд

I highly doubt that your Pooty Toot will be slinging any nukes over MacDonald’s leaving Russia. Some oligarch who still has some cash will buy them up and rebrand them. There were 800 MacDonald’s locations in Russia.
Putin has ruined Russia. Young people have been leaving in droves. The “Russian” label will last for decades.
It was only a matter of time
In before the non sequitur “McDonalds isn’t healthy!”
Hello; please check your last post carefully. Complete thoughts and ideas are appreciated. Thank you.
I doubt it. Considering that it is far more likely that the average potato is used to make vodka rather than fries.

MickeyDs was about to lose its a$$ in Russia. The virtue signaling is to try to hide the fact it's just cutting and running.
Interesting, though, that MickeyDs is refusing to ID the buyer...
In other news, Russians are healthier than ever.
Most people have no idea why Russia went to war. They seem to believe this is all Putin’s idea. Replace Putin and welcome Russia into the NWO seems to be the fantasy. Russia has been put in such a box that historically most nations, in a similar situation, resort to preemptive action. The liars in DC are already telling us we are there for the long term. Putin’s successor will not surrender the country, he will escalate the war.
Yeh, no Micky D in Russia! A sure indicator that the war is lost for Russia!
