A Russian man handcuffed himself to a Mcdonald’s restaurant after the fast-food giant announced it will close all its stores in Russia, amid the ongoing Russian military offensive on Ukraine.
The man, named Luka Safronov, was protesting the closure hours before the restaurants were meant to go into nationwide shutdown.
Luka took to the streets this Sunday, chaining himself to the door, as footage shows the angry Russian shouting “Closing down is an act of hostility against me and my fellow citizens!”
McDonald’s announced the “temporary” closures of its 850 restaurants in Russia last week, which is expected to last until both Russia and Ukraine reach some form of agreement.
Many fast-food fans have been left devastated by the closure, with McDonald’s meals now selling in Russia online for exorbitant prices.
The restaurant “superfan” had to be physically removed from the door, as authorities intervened.
Policemen were seen dragging Luka away through a crowd of spectators, ending the odd one-man protest.
