McDonald's restaurant is seen in the center of Dmitrov, a Russian town 75 km., (47 miles) north from Moscow, Russia, on Dec. 6, 2014. Mcdonald's says it's started the process of selling its Russian business, which includes 850 restaurants that employ 62,000 people. The fast-food giant pointed to the humanitarian crisis caused by the war, saying holding on to its business in Russia is no longer tenable, nor is it consistent with Mcdonald's values. The Chicago-based company had temporarily closed its stores in Russia but was still paying employees. (AP Photo/FILE)
