'Our commitment to our values means that we can no longer keep the arches shining there,' the McDonald's CEO said. 9News

The fast food giant pointed to the humanitarian crisis caused by the war, saying holding on to its business in Russia "is no longer tenable, nor is it consistent with McDonald's values."

As it tries to sell its restaurants, McDonald's said it plans to start removing golden arches and other symbols and signs with the company's name. It said it will keep its trademarks in Russia.

Other companies have stayed at least partially, with some facing blowback.
