No country NEEDS McDonald's.
the difference is that for 30 years since McDonalds is in Russia, nobody said “We don’t need McDonalds”
they only left after the “special operation” started, but the propaganda will try to shift the blame and tell “whatever, we don’t need McDonalds anyways”
next thing you know: “we dont’t need bread, we don’t need bananas, we don’t need water, German cars are for fashists”, etc.
The EU is "don't need"ing Russian oil and gas for some time already. So?
Then where do you expect Mayor McCheese to govern?

Russia does. Look at how bizarrely long the queue to the first McDonalds in Moscow was.
It was after approx 70 years of Soviet regime. People had never seen anything like this before, during their whole life.

I guess this is also after 70 years of soviets and people never seen anything like this before?
That is when it is suddenly closing and wont be available anymore. They like McDonald and it is closing, so they all want last burgers. And even people in that queue would tell you they dont need it, they would however tell you they like it a lot.
Didn’t happen in my city, must be a Moscow thing. But yeah, that’s quite sad.
actually Russian propaganda interpreted this exact news as "McDonalds will be re-opened in mid June" [1] focusing on keeping jobs and suppliers and mentioning the rebranding

McDonalds was one of the prime buyers of local meat and other agricultural goods.
Them leaving the market = huge loses for farmers and companies. They have goods, they don't have a big buyer.
Not to mention all McD's staff.
They will sell their business and instead of McD you will get another just food brand but with broken logistics, business processes and so on.
Why do you blame your bad eating habits on food?
they already say “we don’t need McDonalds”
