Rise of Kara Mustafa in Ukraine (Ottoman Empire vs Tsardom of Moscow)

The Muscovite and Ukrainian Cossack forces under the command of Hetman Samoilovich and Prince Grigory Romodanovsky besieged Chyhyryn and forced Hetman Doroshenko (ottoman vassal) to surrender in 1676. Doroshenko then exiled to Central Russia as Voivode of the Muscovite. The Ottoman Sultan Mehmed IV appointed Yuri Khmelnitsky, son of legendary Cossack Bohdan Khmelnytsky, as hetman of Right-bank Ukraine. In July 1677, the sultan ordered his army under the command of Ibrahim Pasha to advance towards Chyhyryn, retake the city as seat of the Cossack hetmanate. But the campaign was a disaster, with Ottoman forces failed to capture the city and lost almost half of the army against smaller cossack-muscovite forces. In July 1678, newly appointed Grand Vizier Kara Mustafa personally led larger Ottoman forces complimented with the Crimean Tatar army besieged Chyhyryn once again. Samoilovich and Romodanovsky was defeated and fled across the Dnieper river to the Moscovite controlled Left-Bank Ukraine. The city was successfully taken but due to heavy fighting the city was reduced to rubble. Hetman Yuri Khmelnitskythen moved the Right Bank Cossack capital to Nemyriv, close to the ottoman province of Podolia.
