Kiev was never the capital of Russia. It was the capital of what is known as “Kievan Rus” – the founding cultural parent of Russia…
Kyiv (sometimes spelled Kiev) is the largest city and the capital of Ukraine, as well as the historical capital of Kievan Rus’. Kyiv officially celebrates its founding year as 482, but the city may date back at least 2,000 years. Archaeology dates the site of the oldest known settlement in the area to 25,000 years BC.

Therefore, why would Russia destroy Kiev?
Therefore, the west needs to do some history lessons and we all know that the west has issues with history….thus why so many historical sites in other countries have been destroyed by the USA. No care for history…
So if anyone would blow up Kiev? It would be the NATO/USA/UA Nazi group who would do such a thing. They do not appreciate the history…
