The Air Alert app has officially partnered with UNITED24. American actor - Mark Hamill, an ambassador of the fundraising platform, has voiced the English version of the app. In addition, push notifications signaling the end of an air raid now call to make a donation to support the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
The legendary actor behind Luke Skywalker will notify users about five types of danger: missile attacks, artillery shelling, street fighting, radiation and chemical threats. Mark Hamill has also added some of his iconic and inspiring quotes to announcements when the danger is over.

Yaroslava Gres, UNITED24 Coordinator, said "We are eternally grateful to Mark Hamill for continued support to our country. Not only Mark became the first ambassador of the Army of Drones, and the first big celebrity to support the military fundraising for Ukraine, he constantly promotes Ukraine’s interests in numerous interviews, never refuses a chance to talk to the world about our fight for freedom."
He adds, "Only few days ago Hamill announced fundraising for ten Danish Heidrun drones to support Ukrainian defenders, and today we are presenting another project with his participation — an English version of the Air Alert, available for journalists, international missions, and everyone who is currently working in Ukraine. I am sure that many Ukrainians will change the language of the app at least once to hear, 'Attention, the street fighting alert is over. May the Force be with you.'"
