Hanno Pevkur, the Defense Minister of Estonia, has stepped down amid a dispute regarding a €70 million artillery purchase intended for Ukraine. The deal involved advance payments to several suppliers, among them a minor Italian shell firm connected to an Indian company that lacked any background in artillery production. Furthermore, some of the munitions that arrived were defective because they lacked necessary parts. Pevkur has taken political accountability for the situation, admitting that he failed to conduct a thorough review of the agreements.
