Kudos to McDonalds
Today, McDonald’s announced it is leaving Russia for good because of the Ukraine invasion. It closed its 850 restaurants in March. McDonald’s was one of the first western brands to enter the region just before the USSR dissolved in 1991. Its leaving symbolizes Russia’s isolation from the rest of the world.

I expect so---but it remains a public statement to the Russian people. I would not expect them to be back as long as putin or a putin puppet remains in power.
