Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas expressed confidence that she has her coalition’s backing to stay in power as she shrugs off calls to step down over revelations about her husband’s business activity in Russia.

Opposition parties have pledged to push through a parliamentary confidence vote to topple her after it emerged that a trucking company partly owned by her husband, Stark Logistics AS, was making deliveries to a client in Russia even after Kallas’s calls to cut off all business ties with the country.
