McDonald’s Ukraine has announced that some of its restaurants will temporarily switch to a shortened menu due to product delivery disruptions. According to the company, the measure aims to maintain a stable supply of its most popular dishes, meaning selections may vary between individual locations.

The fast-food chain stated that missing items will be restored to the menu once stable deliveries can be reliably guaranteed. Customers looking to check current availability at a specific restaurant can do so via the McDonald’s mobile application, through delivery partner apps, or by visiting in person.

Although McDonald’s did not publicly identify which specific regions would be affected, Ukrainian media reports indicate that certain popular items have already disappeared from locations in Kyiv and the surrounding region. These supply chain complications coincide with intensified Russian strikes in recent months targeting distribution centers and warehouses operated by Ukrainian retail chains. While these logistics challenges have led to certain products temporarily vanishing from store shelves in Kyiv and other cities, officials, retailers, and residents emphasize that the country is not experiencing a broader food shortage.
