Estonian Defense Minister Resigns Over 70M Euro Faulty Ammunition Deal for Ukraine

Estonian Defense Minister Hanno Pevkur resigned on Sept. 2 after it emerged that his ministry paid 70 million euros to a company with no prior ammunition sales for artillery destined for Ukraine, which proved faulty. Pevkur claims he was unaware of the deal, but the scandal has triggered a political crisis in Estonia and raises questions about procurement oversight in Baltic states' military aid to Ukraine.
