Russia shuts four McDonald's restaurants in Moscow

To be sure, Russia has shut only four out of 435 McDonald's outlets across the country and said the move was temporary, pending further checks.

McDonald's in April closed its three restaurants in Crimea, a Ukrainian peninsula that Russia annexed a month earlier, citing "the suspension of necessary financial and banking services." Those restaurants remain closed. At the time, a Russian nationalist politician called for all McDonald's outlets to be closed and for demonstrations outside restaurants.
