'Star Wars' actor Mark Hamill donated 500 drones to Ukraine forces through charity
Fox News national security correspondent Jennifer Griffin provides insight on responding to drone attacks in Ukraine on'America Reports.' "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." "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.
