Video: McDonald's closes four restaurants in Russia

This week, Russia's food safety watchdog temporarily shut down four McDonald's restaurants in Moscow over sanitary violations, Reuters reports. The closures came amid worsening U.S.-Russian ties over Ukraine.

Throughout the week, Russia has kept pressure on the quick-service operator, inspecting locations in several regions. Businessmen say the moves are retaliation for Western sanctions against Russia, but the country's food safety agency says its actions are unrelated.
