The Mongols were able to invade Kiev in 1240 due to a combination of superior military tactics, effective horseback riding skills, and advanced siege technology. Their well-organized and mobile cavalry allowed them to outmaneuver and outpace local forces. Additionally, the disunity among the Russian principalities made it easier for the Mongols to conquer the region, as there was little coordinated resistance. The Mongol strategy of psychological warfare and rapid, brutal attacks also contributed to their success in capturing Kiev.

The Russians achieved Mongol rule primarily through military defeat and political subjugation in the early 13th century, when the Mongol Empire, led by Genghis Khan and later his descendants, invaded Kievan Rus'. The Mongols employed superior cavalry tactics and psychological warfare, overwhelming fragmented Russian principalities.
