McDonald's has said it will reopen branches in Ukraine to restore an 'important sense of normalcy' in the country six months after restaurants closed when Russia invaded.
It said on Thursday that it will reopen some restaurants in Kyiv and western Ukraine, where businesses are trading away from the fighting. Businesses open in Kyiv include Nike, KFC and Mango.
McDonald's closed its Ukrainian restaurants because of the war but has continued to pay more than 10,000 employees in the country.
Its decision to reopen some of the branches is also a symbol of support for Ukraine after it suspended McDonald's operations in Russia in March.
