Estonia’s Defence Minister Hanno Pevkur has resigned, accepting political responsibility after a state agency paid nearly €70 million in a failed shell deal intended to support Ukraine. The transaction has triggered scrutiny of defense procurement procedures and the role of an Indian supplier. Officials are investigating how the agreement was approved, why promised deliveries fell short, and whether public funds can be recovered. The scandal has intensified political pressure as Estonia seeks stronger safeguards for military contracts and ongoing support for Ukraine.
