The "Star Wars" actor said in a Wednesday interview that he helped send 500 drones to support the Ukrainian war effort.
Ukranian needs drones. "They define war outcomes, they protect their land, their people, they watch the border, they're eyes in the sky," he said.
As a celebrity raising money for the Ukrainian United 24 initiative, he has advocated for drones to be sent to the frontlines of the war in the country. Barbra Streisand is an ambassador of the "Army of Drones" program.
The "Army of Drones" program calls for donations of funds and camera-equipped tactical drones to make the Ukrainian Army stronger and save thousands of their own lives.
"I was really shocked because they give me these updates at least two or three times a week about what's happening and they said they've received over 500 drones since I started this." It's not clear if he has donated personal funds to the initiative or if he has raised funds as an ambassador.

"I know for certain that Ukrainians need drones to protect their land, their freedom, and the values of the entire democratic world," he said. It's the best time for everyone to come together and support the people of Ukraine.
Representatives for the "Army of Drones" program did not respond to Insider's questions.
