McDonald's Ukraine: The Oldest Branch Will Rise Again
Kyiv, UkraineWed Jan 22 2025
In the heart of Kyiv, the oldest McDonald's in Ukraine was hit by a Russian missile. The fast-food giant says they'll rebuild. This isn't just about a restaurant. It's about how war affects everyday life. Russia has been targeting cities and infrastructure for years. Now, with a new U. S. president, there's uncertainty about future support for Ukraine.
