Kaja Kallas’s partner owns shares in a company that continued to do business in Russia after the full-scale invasion of Ukraine

Sunak responded to the reports by saying his wife’s business affairs were not of public interest, while a Downing Street spokesperson said neither Murty “nor any members of her family have any involvement in the operational decisions of the company”.
