[58727] Reports on the return of the McDonald's chain to the city of Kharkiv


Official sources in the Kharkiv region confirm that negotiations are underway to restore the operations of the McDonald's fast food chain in the city, initiated by American businessmen.

Progress in talks for the reopening of McDonald's in Kharkiv

The international restaurant chain McDonald's may return to operation in the city of Kharkiv, according to cumulative reports in the Ukrainian media. According to an announcement by the Regional Military Administration (OVA), intensive negotiations are underway on the subject, after branches in the city were closed with the outbreak of the full-scale Russian invasion.

The channel Труха⚡️Україна, which takes a distinctly pro-Ukrainian line, reports that "talks are being held" to resume operations. The statements are reinforced by the channel Лачен пише, which notes that the American businessman and philanthropist Howard Graham Buffett is involved in the talks.

Other channels such as Всевидящее ОКО: Україна and UA Stream also confirm the existence of the contacts, with UA Stream emphasizing that this is an initiative in which Buffett is actively participating with the goal of bringing the chain back to the city.

As of now, no official schedule for the potential return of the chain to the city has been released, but the very existence of the negotiations is perceived among the reporting channels as "good news" for the city's residents and the recovery of the business sector in the area.
