What Happened
Indian Company Linked To Disputed Ammunition Procurement
Estonian Defence Minister Hanno Pevkur has resigned amid a controversy over a €70 million ammunition procurement deal for Ukraine, which involved an Indian company, Neco Defence Munitions. The deal was financed through the European Union’s European Peace Facility, and Estonia has taken legal action against the supplier, Datasel S.R.L., citing contract breaches and quality issues. The resignation comes as Estonia’s National Audit Office has raised concerns over defence spending and procurement practices, according to reports from The Indian Express.
