McDonald’s fan fills up fridge in Russia with 50 burgers after fast food giant announced closure due to Ukraine invasion
A MCDONALD'S lover in Russia has filled up his fridge with 50 burgers after the company announced it was closing in the country following Putin's invasion of Ukraine.
The fast-food giant announced earlier the closures of some of the branches this week in response to the war.
A Redditor shared a photo of the person's fridge which looks completely full of burgers.
The caption reads: "McDonald's is permanently closing in Russia here is my friend's stash."
Meanwhile people have been trying to make a profit by selling McDonald's food on auction sites.
An advert selling a full meal consisting of a double big mac, a double royal, two large portions of chips, 18 McNuggets, and mozzarella dippers for £255.
The description claimed the food was "still warm".
Some people on Russian site Avito have been trying to sell food while others even put pots of sauces up for sale.
Someone put up a Big Mac meal for £250 while another tried to sell three bags of McDonald's for £639.

It was joined by other companies including Coca-Cola, Starbucks and Pepsi.
In an open letter to employees, McDonald's President and CEO Chris Kempckinski said closing these stores, for now, is 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."
