Vladimir of Kiev probably did not fight against the Byzantines. He fought against other Slavic peoples. It was said that Vladimir of Kiev seized the Byzantine city Chersonesos in southern Crimea and agreed to evacuate the fortress of the city in exchange for or the hand of the sister of the emperor Basil II, Anna Porphyrogenita. To achieve this despite Byzantine opposition, Vladimir was converted to Orthodox Christianity and Christianised his Rus.'

Because thre is no Byzantine record of a seizure of Chersonesos by Vladimir of Kiev, histiorians think that this refers to an event which occurred later in history, in the Rus'-Byzantine War (1043), which was fought by a different Vladimir: Vladimir of Novgorod. Moreover, all Arab sources told a different story about Vladimir's conversion to Chritianity. Basil II faced an internal rebellion and turned to Vladimir of Kiev for help and Vladimir agreed in exchange for the marriage and also accepted to convert to Christianity. Once he got married he sent troops to put down the revolt.
