The UNITED24 platform has a new ambassador.

He was played by Mark Hamill, who played the role of Luke Skywalker in "Star Wars".

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy wrote about this on his page in the social network.

"American actor, actor of the role of Luke Skywalker in "Star Wars" Mark Hamill became the ambassador of the fundraising platform UNITED24.

He is the first ambassador who will help raise funds to support our defenders, the "Drone Army".

This is a difficult but very important mission.

Mark, we are sure you will definitely handle it.

Thank you for the support of the Ukrainian people in our struggle for their freedom," Volodymyr Zelenskyi emphasized.

We will remind that Pope Francis contributed to the return of prisoners of war defenders of "Azovstal".
