After the Russia-Ukraine war, McDonald’s had completely shut its operations in Russia after being in business in the country for around 30 years. On Russia Day 2022, McDonald’s reopened 15 of its closed restaurants in Moscow with a new name ‘Vkusno & tochka’, which means “Tasty and that’s it”. The logo of the new brand is a green circle with fries and burgers on it. Russia Day, celebrated every year on June 12, is the commemoration of the day when the declaration of state sovereignty was embraced in Russia. The day is a national holiday in Russia.
