Ukraine fires record 1,000 drones at Russian oil sites as Putin floats Trump-Xi summit

Fact-check index: 78/100 — Most claims closely track the cited headlines, but a few details (the barrage being the war's largest, the strike being explicitly "in response," and the Trump-objections framing) go beyond what the provided source snippets establish.

• Ukraine fired more than 1,000 drones at Russian targets, setting oil facilities ablaze — Matches Al Jazeera headline: 'Ukraine launches over 1,000 drones at Russia, setting oil facilities ablaze.'
• This was Ukraine's largest such drone barrage of the war — Not stated in the Al Jazeera headline/snippet provided; no source text confirms this superlative.
• The strikes extend a refinery campaign Zelensky ordered over Trump's objections — Attributed via link to a prior article not included in the given source material, so it can't be checked against these sources directly, though it's consistent with the ongoing narrative.
• Russia carried out a 'massive strike' on Kyiv — France24: Russia 'said it carried out a "massive strike" on targets in Kyiv and its region.'
• The Russian strike on Kyiv was 'in response' to the drone attack — France24 snippet reports both events but does not explicitly frame the Kyiv strike as retaliation for the drone barrage.
• Rubio denied the US paused intelligence sharing with Ukraine and urged Zelensky to 'focus' on ending the war — Matches France24 headline/text almost verbatim.
• Putin suggested a summit with Trump and Xi to decide Ukraine's fate — Matches CNBC headline, though CNBC qualifies it as 'reportedly,' which the article omits.
• Zelensky said the US is delaying Patriot missiles already paid for under a NATO initiative — Matches The Kyiv Independent headline exactly.
