McDonald's usually sources local ingredients. It's not practical or profitable to ship food in from the US when you can just source it locally and process it in the same way. There are sometimes also regulatory constraints with trying to ship food in from foreign countries (not sure about Russia, but Europe will not accept most American food). So actually, they didn't have to do almost anything. McDonalds literally just gave it over to them.
It's difficult to see how this hurts Russia at all. Even if they closed all the McDonald's down, they'd just become healthier.
