Star Wars actor Mark Hamill offered a helping hand to Ukraine by providing 500 drones in their fight against the invading Russian army. Hamill confirmed the news while appearing on an episode of Bloomberg Radio's Sound On.

Disclosing the reason for his help, the actor said that Ukraine needed the drones and continued:

“Very simply: Ukraine needs drones. They define war outcomes, they protect their land, their people, they monitor the border, they’re eyes in the sky.”

Hamill said that he was honored to be a part of this mission and will further raise funds to assist a project through which the Ukrainian government plans to acquire unmanned drones for war.

Mark Hamill also revealed that he was shocked by the improvements since he gets updated two to three times a week about the Ukrainian army.

Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky previously announced in September that Hamill will be the ambassador of their United24’s Army of Drones project. Sharing the news on social media, Zelensky said that the Corvette Summer actor is the first ambassador to help raise funds to support Ukrainian defenders, adding:

“This is a difficult yet very important mission. Mark, we are sure you will definitely handle it. Thank you for supporting the Ukrainian people in our struggle for freedom.”
