福克斯新闻记者亚历克斯·霍根详解俄罗斯对乌克兰的袭击、白宫附近枪击事件以及伊朗持续冲突。
乌克兰官员8月1日表示，乌克兰总统弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基再次呼吁美国制造的爱国者防空导弹拦截弹，此前俄罗斯 overnight 对基辅发动的导弹和无人机袭击造成至少10人死亡、数十人受伤。
泽连斯基在X平台分享的视频讲话中说：“世界上有爱国者导弹。现在重要的是我们的合作伙伴做出政治决定，提供必要的装备包。美国清楚我们需要什么，欧洲也清楚。”
他补充道：“反导导弹应该用来保护人民，而不是躺在仓库里。”
泽连斯基发出上述呼吁之际，一名乌克兰前政府官员告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，乌克兰的民防危机远不止防空系统问题。随着不断扩大的防空洞调查丑闻持续发酵，尽管该国在建设和维修防空洞上投入了数十亿美元，但调查仍揭露了诸多缺陷。
俄罗斯在泽连斯基警告将发动大规模袭击数小时后，向基辅发射弹道导弹
2024年8月4日乌克兰空军节当天，乌克兰接收的一套爱国者防空系统。
据当地报道，乌克兰首都基辅也在审计其防空洞开支。
“不能一直乞求导弹，这不是保护民众的方式，”乌克兰前政府发言人柳莉娅·门德尔说，“泽连斯基将乌克兰国内缺乏保护的责任推给了美国和西方伙伴。”
门德尔随后描述，乌克兰民众一直在说他们正拉上“反无人机窗帘”、关上“反导弹窗户”，以此形容他们的生存更多靠运气，而非国家的系统性保护。
“令人不齿的事件层出不穷，”她说，“民众根本没有机会躲进防空洞。”
“许多人仍然没有距离足够近、能在危险来袭时快速抵达的防空洞，”门德尔补充道。
乌克兰与芬兰于2025年5月发起了民防防空洞联盟，旨在协助乌克兰落实至2034年的民防战略。
在2025年11月27日的联盟成立大会上，成员国承诺提供超过2200万欧元（按当时汇率约合2500万美元），用于防空洞的建设和现代化改造。
俄罗斯向基辅发射近600枚导弹和无人机，系自5月以来最致命袭击
2022年2月27日周日，乌克兰基辅，民众在空袭警报期间躺在改造成防空洞的酒店地下停车场的床垫上。
据《乌克兰周刊》报道，乌克兰人权专员德米特罗·卢比涅茨6月表示，其办公室对全国1066个防空洞进行了检查，发现其中93%存在缺陷。
该媒体报道称，一些防空洞被锁、被淹或无法使用，还有一些无法容纳残疾人。
7月30日，在俄罗斯发动大规模导弹袭击后，乌克兰总理谢尔盖·科雷茨基下令对全国民防防空洞进行检查，此前有报道称部分平民在袭击期间无法进入防空洞。
据路透社报道，自2022年俄罗斯全面入侵乌克兰以来，基辅已在防空洞上投入了数十亿格里夫纳。
基辅市长维塔利·克利奇科表示，该市2026年划拨了超过11亿格里夫纳（约合2600万美元）用于防空洞维修，而2022年至2025年的总投入约为70亿格里夫纳。
7月10日，他下令审计各区政府如何使用这些资金。
路透社报道称，一些民众只能躲在浴室或走廊里，几乎无法抵御直接袭击。另一些人则冒险躲进地下室，可能会被瓦砾掩埋。
一名女子称她因为带着狗被拒绝进入防空洞，另一名女子说她不得不租酒店房间以使用其防空洞。还有许多人只能睡在地下停车场里。
众议院共和党议员唐·培根呼吁将“流氓国家”俄罗斯踢出联合国安理会
2026年7月30日，乌克兰基辅，民众在俄罗斯导弹和无人机袭击期间在拥挤的地铁站内躲避。
“数千个防空洞未能达到基本标准，随着俄罗斯扩大火力控制范围，前线地区数十个村镇定期发布强制疏散令，”门德尔解释道。
“乌克兰平民基本没有受到保护，这不仅因为导弹短缺，还因为缺乏能够为民众提供可靠避难场所和生存手段的全面系统。”
泽连斯基7月29日接受《阿克塞尔新闻》采访时表示，他已请求特朗普在冬季前紧急运送约300枚爱国者拦截弹，称乌克兰“昨天就需要爱国者导弹”，并警告国内生产这些导弹可能需要1至5年时间。
“我不确定300枚爱国者导弹是否会有帮助，”门德尔说，“俄罗斯还在前线地区加强使用制导航空炸弹，从北部的苏梅州到南部的赫尔松州，扩大了火力控制范围。没有任何导弹系统能够阻挡这一点。”
泽连斯基称普京“失去主动权”，乌克兰科技产业重塑战局
2026年7月8日，俄罗斯导弹和无人机袭击击中乌克兰首都基辅多个区域后，基辅上空升起浓烟。
门德尔警告称，如果不对乌克兰的民防系统进行全面改革，该国将面临日益严峻的人道主义局势。
“泽连斯基和他的政府已经在警告今年冬天会比去年更难熬，让民众为一场人道主义灾难做好准备，”门德尔说，“但乌克兰尚未建立起能够保护本国民众的系统。泽连斯基将继续要求更多援助和导弹，同时推卸责任。”
在最近做客福克斯新闻《汉尼蒂》节目时，泽连斯基表示特朗普已“同意向我们颁发许可证”，允许在乌克兰生产拦截弹。
特朗普随后表示尚未达成任何协议，其政府仍在讨论该提议。
“我认为这永远不会发生，但你知道，有些人在拿到这项技术后，有一天可能会反过来对付你，”特朗普7月31日在戴维营对记者说。
“所以我们必须非常小心，”他警告道。

Ukraine seeks more US Patriot interceptors as bomb shelter probe deepens
A former official says Ukraine’s civilian protection crisis extends far beyond air defenses amid ‘scandalous situations’
August 2, 2026 7:20pm EDT / Fox News
By Emma Bussey Fox News
Fox News correspondent Alex Hogan gives details on a Russian attack on Ukraine, a shooting near the White House and the ongoing conflict in Iran.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy renewed his appeal for U.S.-made Patriot missile interceptors after an overnight Russian missile and drone barrage on Kyiv killed at least 10 people and injured dozens more, Ukrainian officials said Aug. 1.
“The world has Patriot missiles. What matters now is for our partners to make the political decision to provide the necessary packages. The United States knows what we need. Europe knows what we need,” Zelenskyy said in a video message shared on X.
“Anti-ballistic missiles must protect people – not sit in stockpiles,” he added.
Zelenskyy’s appeal came as a former Ukrainian government official told Fox News Digital that Ukraine’s civilian protection crisis extends far beyond air defenses, describing “scandalous situations” amid a widening bomb shelter probe that has allegedly exposed deficiencies despite billions spent on construction and repairs.

Ukraine’s capital, Kyiv, is also auditing its shelter spending, according to local reports.
“It’s not possible to keep begging for missiles all the time. This is not how one protects the population,” ex-Ukrainian government spokesperson Luliia Mendel said. “Zelenskyy is shifting responsibility onto the United States and Western partners for the lack of protection inside Ukraine.”
Mendel went on to describe how Ukrainians have been saying they are drawing their “anti-drone curtains” and closing their “anti-missile windows” simply to illustrate that their survival depends more on luck than on systematic protection from the state.
“Scandalous situations keep arising,” she said, “where people have no chance to take cover.”
“Many still lack shelters close enough to reach quickly every time danger strikes,” Mendel added.
Ukraine and Finland launched the Civil Protection Shelter Coalition in May 2025 to help implement Ukraine’s civil defense strategy through 2034.
At the coalition’s inaugural meeting on Nov. 27, members pledged more than 22 million euros (about $25 million at the time) to support bomb shelter construction and modernization.

Ukraine’s Human Rights Commissioner, Dmytro Lubinets, said in June that his office inspected 1,066 bomb shelters nationwide and found deficiencies in 93% of them, according to The Ukrainian Week.
Some were locked, flooded or otherwise unusable, while others were inaccessible to people with disabilities, the outlet reported.
Prime Minister Sergii Koretskyi ordered a nationwide inspection of civil defense shelters on July 30 after a major Russian missile attack, following reports that some civilians were unable to access shelters during the assault.
According to Reuters, Kyiv has spent billions of hryvnias on bomb shelters since Russia’s full-scale invasion in 2022.
Mayor Vitali Klitschko said the city allocated more than 1.1 billion hryvnias (about $26 million) for shelter repairs in 2026, after spending roughly 7 billion hryvnias from 2022 through 2025.
On July 10, he ordered an audit of how district administrations used those funds.
Some people have been sheltering in bathrooms or corridors, offering little to no protection from a direct hit. Others relocate to basements, risking being buried under rubble, Reuters reported.
One woman said she was denied entry to a shelter because of her dog, while another said she has to rent a hotel room to access its shelter. Many others resort to sleeping in underground parking garages, the outlet reported.

“Thousands of shelters fail to meet basic standards, and mandatory evacuations from dozens of villages and towns in the front-line regions are being announced on a regular basis as Russia expands its fire control,” Mendel explained.
“Ukraine’s civilian population is largely unprotected, not solely because of shortages of missiles, but because of the absence of any comprehensive system that would give people reliable places to shelter and the means to survive.”
Zelenskyy told Axios on July 29 that he had asked Trump for an emergency shipment of about 300 Patriot interceptors ahead of winter, saying Ukraine “needed the Patriots yesterday” and warning that producing them domestically could take one to five years.
“I’m not sure that 300 Patriot missiles would be helpful,” Mendel said. “Russia has also intensified its use of guided aerial bombs across the front-line regions, from northern Sumy to southern Kherson, expanding its fire control. No missile system can stop that.”
ZELENSKYY SAYS PUTIN ‘LOST THE INITIATIVE’ AS UKRAINE’S TECH INDUSTRY RESHAPES THE WAR

Mendel warned that without a comprehensive overhaul of Ukraine’s civilian defense system, the country faces an increasingly dire humanitarian situation.
“Zelenskyy and his government are already warning that the winter will be even harsher than the last one, preparing the public for a humanitarian catastrophe,” Mendel said. “But Ukraine has not designed a system that would be able to protect its population. Zelenskyy will continue demanding more support and missiles while shifting responsibility.”
During a recent appearance on Fox News’ “Hannity,” Zelenskyy said Trump had “accepted that he will give us licenses” to produce the interceptors in Ukraine.
Trump later said no agreement had been reached and that the administration was still discussing the proposal.

“I don’t think this would ever happen, but, you know, there’s people that, you give that technology, they can someday turn on you,” Trump told reporters at Camp David on July 31.
“So we have to be very careful,” he warned.
