Pravda, the Russian newspaper, in an attack against the US fast food giant and other Western retailers' decision to halt sales in the country, said "the Russian public will no longer be tempted to indulge in food that is not food and coffee that is not coffee".
It says: "McDonald's, the quintessential US fast food company, has decided to cease operations in Russia. The reason: the company cannot ignore the human suffering brought about by the Russian operations in the Ukraine.
