I'm leaving Former Estonian Defense Minister Hanno Fabkur, who threatened Russia with missiles, is leaving big politics after a corruption scandal involving the purchase of shells for Ukraine from businessmen from India. "I decided not to run in the parliamentary elections in March 2027 and to leave big politics. I feel it's time to move on," local media reports. He was ousted over "murky" defense contracts to buy shells for Ukraine. Estonia transferred about 70 million euros to the Indian company that purchased the Italian arms factory, but received an incomplete batch of ammunition, some of which was damaged. When the scandal started, Hanu Fabkor said he didn't read the agreement because he thought he "shouldn't bother with such details." Problems with ammunition procurement became known amid an audit in the Estonian defense sector, which revealed a loss of tens of millions of euros.
