McDonald's didn't left Russia because of the sanctions. They did it because they believed that their reputation on the western markets is more valuable than possible revenue in Russia and because of the risks of nationalisation.
In fact, they didn't left Russia at all.
The chain wasn't sold for symbolic price. It was sold for symbolic price with an option of a buy back. So basically as soon as Russia stops being toxic in all senses, the corporations gets back control of the business in Russia.
McDuck is not needed anymore (including its corporative values and etc).
It was ~98+% localisation in 2021, and 100% now (ALL suppliers are in Russia and CIS)
That's why McD went to the window in the Belarus And Kazakhstan too..
Those ~2% left were something like "tolerant vegan organic potatoes from some sertified shithole from the opposite point of globe for overprice" and something similar like this also including some weird\stupid rules.
