Over 30 years after the first McDonald’s opened in Moscow — still one of the most pointed symbols for the end of the Cold War — the fast food chain announced that it would temporarily shutter its 850 locations in Russia in light of the country’s ongoing invasion of Ukraine.
The fast-food chain’s CEO Chris Kempczinski announced the decision Tuesday, March 8 as pressure on McDonald’s — as well as other major companies like Coca-Cola — to take action in Russia continued to mount. McDonald’s, as The Associated Press states, has also temporarily closed its 108 locations in Ukraine.
