After publicly announcing three weeks ago it was suspending operations in Russia, McDonald’s has now gone silent about why some of its restaurants are still open for business in the country.
This week, CBC News visited two Moscow McDonald’s serving up burgers and fries, and there are reports online that other Russian locations also remain operational.
Despite multiple inquiries, McDonald’s hasn’t explained why these restaurants haven’t shut down.
However, the U.S.-based fast food chain was open about its plans on March 8 when it announced that all 850 locations in Russia would close temporarily to protest the country’s invasion of Ukraine.
