Claim 1: “More than 220 Ukrainian drones were shot down over Russian regions, the Black and Azov Seas during the day, the Russian defense ministry said.”
DISPUTED
The evidence contains contradictory reports from the Russian Defense Ministry. One web search result explicitly states 221 drones were destroyed between 08:00 and 20:00 Moscow time, while another TASS report (an official Russian state news agency) states 'More than 70 Ukrainian drones were shot down' during the day. A third source mentions 553 drones overnight. Because official sources provide wildly different numbers for the same general timeframe/event, the claim is disputed.

Claim 2: “From 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Moscow time (5:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. GMT), Russian air defense systems intercepted and destroyed 221 Ukrainian fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicles over Crimea, the Belgorod, Bryansk, Kaluga, Kursk, Oryol, Tula, Moscow, and Krasnodar Regions, and over the Azov and Black Seas”
SINGLE SOURCE
Only one specific web search result corroborates the detailed breakdown of 221 drones between 08:00 and 20:00 Moscow time. Other provided evidence for this claim is irrelevant (dictionary definitions, TV series, MMA fighters), and the TASS report for claim 0 contradicts the number (stating 'more than 70'). Since only one relevant source supports this specific detailed figure, it is marked as single_source.
