Years: 1108 - 1251
The Mongol army crosses the Dnieper River in November 1240, after the rivers and marshes of what, in modern times, is the Ukraine had frozen enough to take the weight of cavalry.
On December 6, it conquers Kiev, the seat of the grand prince and the Metropolitan See of Rus'.
Subetai continues westward, his army advancing, typically, on a broad front in three major columns.
