Sales at restaurants open at least 13 months climbed 11.8% in the quarter, driven by international locations. In the United States, sales increased by 3.5%, in part because of strategic menu price increases and marketing promotions.McDonald’s had&nbsp;<a href="https://www.econotimes.com/McDonalds-left-with-millions-of-dollars-of-Russian-food-it-cant-use-1632467?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=mcdonalds-pullout-from-russia-results-in-127-million-loss-2718587" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">847 restaurants in Russia and 108 in Ukraine</a> as 2021 ended. Their combined incomes account for 9% of McDonald’s revenue last year. McDonald's net income fell 28% in three months as of March 31, 2022. &nbsp;
