"McDonald's" in Ukraine has been operating as a separate market within the company's international structure since July 2026. Prior to this, the Ukrainian business had been combined into one management structure with the Czech Republic and Slovakia for almost four years. This was reported by "Forbes".

The company notes that separating the Ukrainian market will help to respond faster to customer needs and implement further development plans.

Yuliia Badritdinova remains the General Manager of "McDonald's" in Ukraine. At the same time, the company has updated its management team. Kseniia Mykhailenko will lead marketing, Serhii Nevmerzhitskyi will head the "People" department, Oksana Demyanchuk will lead strategy and transformation, Nazar Bediy will lead corporate impact, and Ihor Klimov will lead information technology.
