Estonia's pro-Ukrainian PM faces pressure to quit over husband's indirect Russian business links

FILE - Estonia's Prime Minister Kaja Kallas speaks with the media as she arrives for an EU summit at the European Council building in Brussels, on June 30, 2023. The husband of Estonias government leader said Friday Aug. 25, 2023 he will sell stakes in a company with ties to Russia, a situation that has caused a crisis for Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas, one of Europes most outspoken supporters of Ukraine.

The opposition has urged Kallas to resign, while members of the center-right, three-party coalition government have been calling for more answers regarding Hallik's activities. “My company used this and the remaining capital to make various financial investments -– but the substance of these investments has never been the subject of any discussion between us. During the summer the loan was repaid," he said.

Party chairman Tanel Kiik said the ”scandal has severely damaged the reputation of the Estonian state,” according to BNS.
