Voivode Dmytro was appointed military commander of Kiev by Prince Danylo of Galicia in 1239, charged with defending the city from the Mongols. Following a protracted siege, the city's walls were breached and fighting commenced within the city. After Kiev fell on December 6 1240, Voivode Dmytro was spared by the Mongol leader Batu Khan for the courage he showed in the defense of the city.
