Ironic how she was one of the big proponents of collective guilt yet she claims she didn't know her family was doing buisness with Russia

TL;DR:

  • It's a transport company
  • They've gone from ~70 per month to 1-2 deliveries a week to Russia
  • They have one remaining Estonian customer that still has business in Russia as part of their production supply chain
  • This customer is legally allowed to finish its business in Russia
  • The transport company has no Russian customers and are taking on no new business in Russia

Hey! Your facts are ruining a perfectly written click-baity title, you know?

The big point here isnt that they dropped from 70 per month to 1-2. The big point is that she was constantly saying how everyone should immediately stop doing any business with russia/russians and ban all russians from traveling to the west. She also said there is common guilt among the people regardless if they actively helped/supported or not. While at the same time she wasnt even aware what her own husbands business was doing.

Before she made such drastic statements maybe she should have checked if she follows what she wants to preach.

Did you miss the part that said:

"They have one remaining Estonian customer that still has business in Russia as part of their production supply chain"

"The transport company has no Russian customers and are taking on no new business in Russia"

?

The thing is though, the real company that should be complained at is not Stark Logistics but AS Metaprint - the business actually shipping to Russia. This business has already been in the news and spoken about how it's winding up its existing orders, and has been given a legal dispensation to finish up its operations. Those operations used Stark Logistics before, so obviously they're going to continue using Stark Logistics until they finish.

Her husband's business wasn't doing anything extra from what was already in the public eye. I'm sure she was campaigning for AS Metaprint to stop sooner, in which case Stark Logistics would also be stopping sooner. The Prime Minister does not dictate policy, though, and in this case the government have determined business can go on for a little longer.

These titles make me lose faith in journalism.
