AFAIK, the situation with Burger King, is that unlike McDonalds, BK doesn't have much leverage over Russian franchisee's. They can try and say "close the stores, we're leaving", but the actual store owners would just say "no" and re-brand them back to "Rostik's". They don't really have any assets in Russia so there's nothing really to sell either, but they do still receive the franchise fees. So pulling out would only benefit Russia
