According to the Primary Chronicle (PVL), Yaroslav was informed about the events in Kiev by his sister Predslava Volodimerovna. In the PVL in columns 135.27–136.1 (version A) and 140.25–141.1 (version B), Predslava informs her brother Yaroslav of their father Volodimer's death. [d] The two passages represent two differing versions of events.
The Battle of the River Bug, sometimes known as the Battle of Volhynia, took place on 22–23 July 1018, in Red Ruthenia, near the Bug River and near Volhynia (Wołyń), between the forces of Bolesław I the Brave of Poland and Yaroslav the Wise of Kievan Rus, during the Bolesław's Kiev Expedition. Yaroslav was defeated by the Polish duke.
Iziaslav succeeded his father, after Yaroslav's oldest child, Vladimir (the only child by Yaroslav's first wife), had predeceased his father.

The Battle of Liubech (1016) was a clash between the troops of Sviatopolk (prince of Kiev and Turov) and his brother Yaroslav (prince of Novgorod) near the town of Liubech (modern Chernihiv Oblast). It was part of the Kievan succession crisis of 1015–1019 that broke out between the brothers after the death of prince Volodimer I of Kiev (1015).
Yaropolk was the son of Iziaslav I of Kiev (d. 1078), and Gertruda, daughter of the Polish monarch Mieszko II Lambert (died 1034). [5] Since the Kievan succession war of 1015–1019, the Polish ruler Bolesław had taken an interest in Kievan Rus', hoping to gain control of the land of Red Ruthenia (Czerwien Grody), seized by Vladimir the Great.
But Thietmar states that Bolesław supported his son-in-law against Yaroslav in 1017, which is the date, according to the Primary Chronicle, of Sviatopolk's first defeat by Yaroslav. Preparing a campaign against Kiev, Bolesław abruptly stopped a successful war against the German Emperor Henry II. So, it is unlikely that Sviatopolk had been ...
