Yum Brands Inc, the parent company of the KFC and Pizza Hut, said on Tuesday it was suspending investment in Russia and operations at its restaurants, redirecting all profits from operations in the country to humanitarian efforts.
A growing number of Western firms have pulled out of Russia amid concerns over its war with Ukraine which has forced 2 million people to flee the country, according to UN figures.
The Kentucky-based Yum! Brands joined western brands, including McDonald’s, Starbucks, Coca-Cola, and PepsiCo that are halting operations in Russia over its war on Ukraine.
Yum has at least 1,000 KFC and 50 Pizza Hut locations in Russia.

I think you can fuel tanks with the grease you squeeze out of KFC.

Has Biden kicked out all the Russian students studying here yet? That will clear the field for the Chi-coms to send even more spies to our colleges.

Well, you asked why the Russians couldn’t just keep the stores open, anyway.
I said they would fail because they are Russians.

Looking forward to the Soviet-era ersatz-borscht stalls making a comeback to replace the daily consumption needs of 75% of the Russian population.
LOFL!

"So why can’t Russia just keep all these stores open anyway?"Franchise agreement = supply. "Don't open because your deliveries are suspended."
