Ukraine is sharing its experience in building fortifications with Estonia's new defense minister, Martin Herem, according to Euromaidan Press, a Ukrainian outlet.

Herem took over the defense portfolio on 16 September. His predecessor, Hanno Pevkur, stepped down over a procurement scandal. The outlet says the scandal involved a shell purchase worth 70 million euros.

The exchange means defense cooperation between Ukraine and Estonia is continuing under a new minister, only a few weeks after the previous one left office.

The source text does not specify what knowledge or methods Ukraine passed on, and it gives no further details about the circumstances of the scandal.
