McDonald's and KFC outlets in Ukraine have temporarily closed down due to the Russian attacks to invade the country. The fighting is still happening, and in an effort to help the military forces, the fast-food chains have opened a kitchen so they can provide food for the people who are fighting to save the nation from being invaded.
McDonald's and KFC branches in the region have closed down since Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered the invasion of Ukraine on Feb. 24. But while the stores remained closed, the restaurants have decided to do their part and help the soldiers that are protecting them round-the-clock.
According to The Sun, McDonald's and KFC started giving out food to defenders who were fighting in the streets. They have also prioritized the soldiers who were hospitalized for various injuries sustained from the Russian aggression.
The two leading fast-food brands are also expressing their support to Ukraine through social media. They are acknowledging their great efforts to protect the country and its people amid the non-stop fierce fighting.
On Feb. 27, McDonald's also announced it would be handing out food to local councils so these can be easily distributed to those who need them. The company also stressed that as they help, they are also making sure that their staff is safe while preparing the foods.
Based on the report, the food donation from McDonald's are mostly items that do not need cooking, such as water, fruits, salads, vegetables, rolls, juices, and eating utensils. KFC will also be focusing more on providing some necessities to soldiers. Both fast-food chains have set up kitchens to prepare food, especially for hospitals, the military, and soldiers posted on territorial defense.
"McDonald's Ukraine actively supports the country and our people. Our restaurants are closed for security reasons, but we provide local councils with food from restaurants that are currently as safe as possible for our employees," McDonald's stated in a Facebook post. "Local authorities take the products and distribute them where they are most needed."
Ukraine's Shotam Media also quoted KFC as saying, "KFC restaurants have opened their kitchens for cooking to those who need it, namely: for military hospitals, hospitals, territorial defense, military, etc. Now we are all one family, helping each other without a doubt!"
