WHAT HAPPENED

Estonia reportedly paid €70 million for ammunition intended for Ukraine but received none; the defence minister is now reported to be resigning. The headline does not provide details about the procurement failure or its effect on deliveries.

A failed ammunition purchase could delay military support to Ukraine and expose weaknesses in defence procurement.
