FALLON/AFP via Getty; Rick Bowmer/AP; Drew Angerer/GettyUkraine’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.
