McDonald's Corp., which shuttered all stores in Russia and Ukraine this past spring due to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, is planning to reopen its Ukraine locations within the next few months.

The 850 Russia stores were eventually sold to a local franchisee, as QSRWeb reported in mid May.

The QSR giant had been operating 109 restaurants in Ukraine, according to a Reuters report, and has not indicated how many will reopen or a specific schedule. But it has stated reopenings will begin in Kyiv and western Ukraine, areas not as highly impacted from Russia's war on Ukraine, according to Reuters.
