This is how I know you didn't read the article.

BK did cut the supply chain logistics. It's mentioned in the article.

Sue the franchisees? Where? In Russia? In the middle of an economic war with the west? Even if the suit proceeded for some reason, who do you expect the court to rule in favor of?

BK did everything to severe ties. The only thing that remains is to sell their share of the franchise. If they sell now (even if they find a buyer), they likely won't be paid in anything other than rubles which is useless.

Lol dude, take your own advice. Read the article, about how they're dragging their feet and didn't even want to exit in the first place. How much that BK PR team paying you lol.

Also they didn't say they were cutting supply chain, it says "The spokesperson for RBI said the company was refusing new investment and supply chain support." Refusing NEW investments is not the same as killing the existing supply chain. Jesus, read.
