The day was dominated by Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi's visit to Russia, culminating in a meeting with Putin in St. Petersburg. State-aligned outlets emphasized strategic partnership and discussions on Middle East peace, while independent sources noted Putin's falling approval amid internet blocks. The shooting at Trump's dinner continued to receive coverage, with state-aligned and commercial outlets highlighting a Ukrainian connection in the shooter's manifesto. In the afternoon, Russia expanded sanctions against EU officials in response to new EU sanctions. The day also saw reports of a Ukrainian drone strike killing a worker at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant, and Moscow residents were urged to stay indoors on April 28 due to severe weather.
