Three more McDonald's restaurants closed in Russia

• Three more McDonald's (NYSE:MCD) restaurants have been closed in Russia, bringing the total amount of shut branches now up to eight.
• Russia's food safety regulator, Rospotrebnadzor, still maintains that the closings are due to sanitary violations, although they coincide with heightened tensions over the Ukraine crisis.
• McDonald's said earlier this week that it will appeal the decisions by a court in Moscow.
