Restaurant Brands International (RBI) which owns 15% of the fast-food's franchise business in Russia, told the BBC it had "no new updates to share at this time" on its exit.

The firm said in March 2022 that it had started the process to leave Russia...

As a 15% owner, they probably have no legal right to close the business.

McDonald's pulled out and so the franchise owners in Russia simply changed the name of their restaurants and kept right on selling burgers.

Rebranded McDonald’s restaurants are unveiled in Russia (CNN, June 13th, 2022)

MSM does not talk about it, but 30% of fabricated nuclear fuel for US utility nuclear reactors comes from Russia - to this very day.

The USA no longer fabricates any nuclear fuel for nuclear power plants (although there are plans to re-open a plant) nor does the USA mine a single pound of uranium.

Fed.gov never placed sanctions on Russian nuclear fuel in the USA, and Duke and Excelon are lobbying congress to extend the waiver another 3-5 years.
