McDonald’s in Ukraine to shorten menu at some restaurants over supply disruptions

McDonald's Ukraine is planning to shorten some menu options at select restaurants due to supply chain disruptions, according to a recent statement. The company explained that to ensure a stable supply of popular dishes, certain restaurants might temporarily offer a reduced selection, leading to variations in the menu from one restaurant to another.

The items that are currently missing will be added back once reliable deliveries are assured, the statement added. Customers can check the current menu of a specific restaurant through the McDonald's app, delivery partner apps, or by visiting the location. The company did not reveal which regions would be affected by the reduced menu.

Earlier reports had suggested that some items were absent from McDonald's locations in Kyiv and the surrounding Kyiv region. Russian forces have intensified attacks on distribution centers and warehouses of Ukrainian retail chains in recent months, causing some products to vanish from store shelves in Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities.

While officials, retailers, and residents insist that the country is not experiencing a food shortage, they acknowledge that logistics have become more challenging.
