Pevkur: Money Has Been Allocated to Orders
Kaitseminister Hanno Pevkur selgitas, et 1,6 miljardit eurot on kasutatud laskemoona tellimusteks. Ta vastas kriitikale, et raha pole veel kulutatud.
Defense Minister Hanno Pevkur explained that 1.6 billion euros have been allocated for ammunition orders. He responded to criticism by saying that the money has not yet been spent.
Defense Minister Hanno Pevkur said that the entire 1.6 billion euros have been allocated for ammunition orders. Pevkur responded to criticism expressed by Kusti Salm. Salm is a former employee of the Ministry of Defense. Pevkur said that Salm should know how ammunition procurements work.
Pevkur explained that ammunition procurements begin with an order. Then contracts are made. Contracts are signed after manufacturers notify when they can produce and deliver the ammunition. Pevkur referred to his social media post. There, he wrote about what has been done over the months.
Pevkur added that the ammunition will arrive according to the manufacturers' capabilities. More specifically, it depends on the contracts that the Ministry of Defense makes with the manufacturers.
Kusti Salm criticized Pevkur. He said that nothing has been spent from the money yet. In Salm's opinion, the situation is irresponsible. He believes that for Estonia, this is a very important issue.
Salm added that Pevkur is simply using state secrets as arguments. He said that the minister is doing too little and talking too much.
