The firm is the second in the Crimea to alter its operations after heightened tensions between Russia and the west.
Deutsche Post said on Thursday that it was no longer accepting letters for Crimea.
"Due to operational reasons beyond our control, McDonald's has taken the decision to temporarily close our three restaurants in Simferopol, Sevastopol and Yalta," McDonald's said.

as of today May 17th 2014 there is no online evidence that these MacDonalds in Crimea have reopened or ever will in the future. I wonder how many other European funded or U.S. funded businesses are also now closed down 'permanently'? And how many people working for these businesses are still alive or are homeless without food or a place to live or are captive some place?
