Prior to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, McDonald’s operated 109 restaurants located across 24 cities in the country.

After Russia and Ukraine conflict that began on 24 February this year, McDonald’s decided to temporarily shut its restaurants in the country citing security reasons.

Last month, McDonald’s signed an agreement to rebrand its stores in Belarus.

Under the deal, 25 restaurants operated by a Belarusian franchisee were rebranded as Vkusno & tochka.

The agreement came five months after the US fast food restaurant brand decided to exit neighbouring Russia. In May this year, McDonald’s divested its Russian stores to a local operator that were later rebranded as Vkusno & tochka.
