Star Wars actor Mark Hamill donates 500 drones to Ukraine forces through charity

"Star Wars" actor Mark Hamill donated 500 drones to assist Ukraine in its efforts to push back Russian forces.

"Very simply: Ukraine needs drones," Hamill told host Joe Mathieu during an appearance on Bloomberg Radio’s "Sound On", Fox News reports.

"They define war outcomes, they protect their land, their people, they monitor the border, they’re eyes in the sky," Hamill said, adding that he was "honored" to support the mission, which would include raising funds to support Ukraine’s UNITED24 "Army of Drones" project.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced the program’s launch last year, including Hamill’s role as an ambassador for the program. So far, donations through UNITED24 have reached more than $210 million.

"I was really shocked because they give me these updates at least two or three times a week about what’s going on, and they said they’ve received over 500 drones since I started this," the actor revealed.
