There wasn’t any “baattle of Kiev”. Russians didn’t begin to have enough force on the ground for that. The action was meant to fix hohos around KIiev while real action was taking place elsewhere. That worked, and the fixing force left.

Ganeemead “there wasn’t any battle of Kyiv “

That’s the opposite of what you said last year.

And yes, there was a battle of Kyiv

The Battle of Kyiv was part of the Kyiv offensive in the Russian invasion of Ukraine for control of Kyiv, the capital city of Ukraine, and surrounding districts. The combatants were elements of the Russian Armed Forces and Ukrainian Armed Forces. The battle lasted from 25 February 2022 to 2 April 2022 and ended with the withdrawal of Russian forces.

Russian forces engaged Ukrainian troops at Hostomel Airport on 24 February 2022

Following the successful Ukrainian counterattacks in late March, Russia announced it was withdrawing its forces from the Kyiv area on 29 March.
