In Kyiv, the McDonald's restaurant near the "Lukyanivska" metro station, which was damaged during the Russian shelling on May 24, has reopened its doors to visitors. This was reported on the company's official social media pages.
The reopening of this landmark establishment
The restaurant near the "Lukyanivska" station is a landmark for the capital, as it was here on May 24, 1997, that the first McDonald's in Ukraine opened.
