“Our values mean we cannot ignore the needless human suffering unfolding in Ukraine,” fast-food giant McDonald’s said.
Starbucks’ Johnson said his company’s move also meant that shipment of all Starbucks products to Russia was suspended. He said that while stores would close, employees in Russia would be supported.
“In Poland and many other markets across Europe, our System has literally opened their homes, their hearts, and their restaurants” to those who have fled, the company said in its statement. McDonald’s opened its first fast-food restaurant in the then-Soviet Union some 32 years ago, and now has 847 eateries in Russia and 108 in Ukraine.
