Depends on their relevance. If you show a few examples, I'd let you know what I'd do.

Is this articles from a website or something like that?

If the pullquotes were only used for "decoration"/"breaking up the article"/emphasis + rehashing what's already there, they can be removed in the ebook. (Relatively useless.)

If they're "pullquotes", as in important sidenotes/asides, then there are ways.

Note: You have to remember, not everything that works in Print should be carried over or would be relevant in Ebooks. (For example, stuff like headers/footers.)

Side Note: Way back in 2015/2017, I wrote about subheadings that were "pullquote"-like:

Sometimes you can do something like this:

Big Screen:

Code:
This is some text that       Pullquote
has a pullquote in there          Text.
and then it continues
to go further and further and further.
Little Screen:

Code:
-------------
Pullquote Text.
-------------

This is some text that has a
pullquote in there and then it
continues to go further and
further and further.
where:
  • big screen would align right + have padding around it
  • small screen would be inline OR similar to a blockquote + standout via border/padding.
