Hesburger: Closing all outlets in Russia and Belarus "as soon as possible"
The Finnish fast food firm Hesburger said it plans to close all of its outlets in Russia and Belarus "as soon as possible".
In a press statement on Tuesday, Hesburger CEO Kari Salmela said that the chain plans to end operations in both countries during this summer, as many other international firms have done, following Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
However, many people in Finland have taken to social media to criticise the fast food chain's timeline as too slow.
"We will do our best to close the doors of the restaurants in Russia as soon as possible," Salmela said.
