The coal miners worked for dtech, Ukraine's largest private energy company. Detec spokesman Pavlo Bilodad told NPR that this is the deadliest attack on the company's workers since Russia's full scale invasion began. Ukraine's energy minister Denis Michal called it, quote, a cynical and targeted attack on energy workers. In another part of south central Ukraine, at least six people were injured after a Russ attack on a maternity hospital in the city of Zaporizhzhia. Meanwhile, Trump administration envoy Steve Witkoff said this weekend that talks with Russia have been, quote, productive. Joanna Kakissis, NPR News, Kyiv.

The federal government is in a partial shutdown. The Senate has approved a series of spending bills along with one that funds the Department of Homeland Security for two weeks. The House returns to work today and must approve the legislation to end the shutdown. Senate Democrats want changes to how federal officers carry out immigration enforcement before they'll approve a long term spending bill for dhs.

Late last year, the Kennedy center board, which is packed with Trump allies and chaired by the president himself, voted to add the president's name to the center, now calling it the Trump Kennedy Center. There has been widespread backlash with artists pulling out of contracts to perform there and a mass exodus of patrons buying memberships and tickets to shows. In his social media post Denouncing the planned closure, Trump says he plans to transform the center he described as dilapidated and in bad condition, financially and structurally, into a new and spectacular entertainment complex with, quote, the highest level of success, beauty and grandeur.
