Why was Kiev the mother of Russian city's?

Kiev, now the capital of Ukraine, is often referred to as the "mother of Russian cities" because it played a central role in the early history of the East Slavic state known as Kievan Rus', which emerged in the 9th century. As a political, cultural, and religious center, Kiev was the seat of the first East Slavic ruler, Prince Oleg, and later, it became a significant hub for trade and Christianity after the baptism of Prince Vladimir in 988. This historical significance established Kiev as a foundational city for the development of the Russian, Ukrainian, and Belarusian nations. The legacy of Kievan Rus' continues to influence the cultural and historical narratives of these countries today.
