First, the true name of ‘Russia’ at the time was Muscovy. And the Mongols were the ones who made Moscow the capital of that realm btw (read Harvard Prof. Richard Pipes’ quote in a below comment).
Second, Kyiv freed itself from Mongols within 80 yeas period. It happened before Moscow was made capital of a Mongolian province.

Yes Russia conducted very successful anti Imperialism against the Mongols and their proxies, by taking most of them over
Putin has no decent justification for this invasion and no one but his online bots believe it. The entire Middle East had been under Turkish rule for nearly 500 years, can Erdogan start a conquest as well?
