Kyiv is the capital of Ukraine, on the Dnieper river. From the late 9th century it was the capital of Kievan Rus', the first East Slavic state, whose prince Vladimir the Great accepted Christianity in 988. Sacked by the Mongols in 1240, it later came under Lithuania, Poland and Russia, and became the capital of independent Ukraine in 1991.
