Latvian PM has some seriously dodgy maths. Andris Kulbergs says "one beer a year" per European would cover the cost of the Ukraine war effort. 450m EU citizens paying €3 a beer gets you to €1.35bn. That's about 2% of the funding required for Ukraine. I think he means one beer per week?

If you take the cost of a beer in Brussels, it’s significantly higher than €3

That "one beer" seldon ends with just one beer 😀

People in Western Europe just don't understand what Latvian PM means by "one beer". Here's an illustration
