According to Kempczinski, leaving Russia is a difficult decision. “We have an obligation to our global community and must remain steadfast in our values,” he said in a statement. “Our commitment to our values means we can no longer let the arcs (reference to the McDonald’s logo, ed.) shine there.” It is also not an easy choice financially. The company expects to lose between $1.2 billion and $1.4 billion in sales by leaving Russia.
