In particular, on page X (formerly Twitter) a post was published in which the celebrity was accused of going to the “dark side” due to the fact that he raised funds for 500 drones for the Armed Forces of Ukraine .
“Last month, Mark Hamill sent 500 drones to Ukraine,” The Hill wrote. “Now look at Zelensky’s T-shirt in the picture. What does it say? “Come to the Dark Side.” How do you like that? Do you like it, Star Wars fans? Luke Skywalker has joined the dark side , “wrote Russian diplomats.
