Add a Ukrainian unit that took part during the defence of kyiv in 2022 to the infobox. It's the dzjokhar dudayev battalion. Some sources that the battalion was there: https://kyivindependent.com/national/meet-the-chechens-fighting-russia-in-ukraine https://www.dw.com/en/chechen-and-tatar-muslims-take-up-arms-to-fight-for-ukraine/a-61174375 Ola Tønningsberg (talk) 18:31, 1 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I suggest that we change the name from "Battle of Kyiv" to "Battle for Kyiv". The reasoning behind this change, is due to the nature of the battle. For Russia the objective of the battle was to capture Kyiv whereas for the Ukrainians, it was to defend and keep control of the capital. Therefore it was a battle 'for' the control of the capital. When 'of' is used it signifies merely the location of a battle. One example is the Battle of Agincourt, named so, because the battle took place at the village of Agincourt. In this case it's not only a battle at Kyiv, it's a battle for Kyiv. Therefore, to be precise in our language I suggest we change the name to "Battle for Kyiv".

Speaking on Saturday, Putin said that Ukraine was responsible for sabotaging the negotiations. “After we pulled our troops away from Kiev – as we had promised to do – the Kiev authorities … tossed [their commitments] into the dustbin of history,” he said. “They abandoned everything.” https://archive.is/Gnple is this real ?
