Ukraine's outgoing defense minister claims his country is spending approximately $100 million a day on its war against Russia - a sum that exceeds the more than the $95 million President Joe Biden wants to send to Maui after the Hawaii island suffered the most fatal fire in the nation's history in over a century.
"A day of war costs us 100 million dollars," Defense Minister Oleksii Reznikov said in an interview with state media.
Biden said recently he is sending $95 million to Maui - less than one-tenth of a percent of the $135 billion he wants to spend on Ukraine, as recently reported by Breitbart News.
The United Stataes is providing the lion's share of funds to Ukraine for it to sustain its war against Russia, which began in February 2022 after Russian forces invaded.
United States military aid to Ukraine alone has averaged $86 million per day.
Biden recently bragged at a NATO summit in Vilnius in July that the United States is spending more than all other nations combined.
Biden told Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, "I think we've given more than any other nation combined in terms of assistance and cost and the American people are supportive. They're supportive, because they know it's about you, it's about more than you, it's about innocent people around the world, and the absolute brutality with which Putin is acting and the Russians are moving on, it's like something out of the 14th Century, the way they're acting."
