Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 10:36:48 GMT

Prime Minister Kaja Kallas is facing growing criticism after Estonian media reports revealed her husband’s business ties to Russia, which will now be discussed by a parliamentary committee. Estonian President Alar Karis — leader of the Social Democrats, the minority party in Kallas’ coalition government — said Monday that the scandal diminished Estonia’s credibility in its interaction with allies. “The business activities of Prime Minister Kaja Kallas’ family member vis-a-vis Russia have raised many questions in the media and in society and have put the spotlight on the head of the government and the values that Estonia must follow,” Karis added, warning of a credibility crisis. Last week, Estonian public broadcaster ERR found that Kallas’ husband Arvo Hallik held a stake in Stark Logistics, which has maintained operations in Russia since its full-scale invasion of Ukraine began last February.
