Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas, one of the European Union’s staunchest critics of the Kremlin, pushed back against mounting criticism over her husband’s links to a logistics company that has made deliveries to a client in Russia.
Kallas came under scrutiny from political opponents after public broadcaster ERR reported Wednesday that Stark Logistics AS, a trucking company in which Kallas’s spouse, Arvo Hallik, has a 24% stake, is transporting non-sanctioned goods between Estonia and Russia.
