They don't even have to respect trademarks anymore because of how much Russia is sanctioned. They can just keep running their own Burger King with the only difference being that the real BK won't see any profits and the money will stay inside Russia.

Worst case scenario for the west is that the Russians just rename the chain "Burger Tsar" or something and continue as normal. Russians still get their treats, BK gets no money.
