McDonald’s, which employees 62,000 people in Russia, announced the temporary closures of 850 restaurants in Russia last week in response to the war.

Many fast food fans have been left devastated by the strike, with meals now selling online in the country for as much as £255.

And furious Luka took to the streets on Sunday, chaining himself to the door of a restaurant to fight its closure until the bitter end.

Footage reportedly shows the angry Russian shouting: “Closing down is an act of hostility against me and my fellow citizens!”

Hungry customers can be seen walking past Luka as they go for their final fill in the restaurant.

Later, others can be heard laughing as swathes of onlookers gather and police approach, Financial Times journalist Max Seddon wrote on Twitter.

The no-nonsense cops can eventually be seen dragging Luka away through a crowd, marking an end to the desperate protest.

It came after McDonald’s President and CEO Chris Kempckinski said in a letter to employees closing its stores, for now, was the right thing to do.

He said: “As we move forward, McDonald’s will continue to assess the situation and determine if any additional measures are required.

“At this juncture, it’s impossible to predict when we might be able to reopen our restaurants in Russia.

“We are experiencing disruptions to our supply chain along with other operational impacts. We will also closely monitor the humanitarian situation.”

A number of corporations have now ceased operations in Russia in protest of the war in Ukraine.
