Unlike McDonalds — which owns some 84% of its outlets in Russia — companies such as Burger King, Subway and Papa John's often operate via franchise agreements there.

Restaurant Brands International on Friday reported weaker-than-expected quarterly revenue, hurt by Burger King's disappointing same-store sales growth.
Shares of the company fell less than 1% in premarket trading.
Here's what the company reported compared with what Wall Street was expecting, based on a survey of analysts by LSEG, formerly known as Refinitiv:
- Earnings per share: 90 cents adjusted vs. 86 cents expected
- Revenue: $1.84 billion vs. $1.87 billion expected
Restaurant Brands reported third-quarter net income attributable to shareholders of $252 million, or 79 cents per share, down from $360 million, or $1.17 per share, a year earlier.
Excluding items, the restaurant company earned 90 cents per share.
Net sales rose 6.4% to $1.84 billion.
