The Muscovite–Ukrainian War (1658–1659)was an armed conflict from September 21, 1658, to October 17, 1659, between the Cossack Hetmanateled by Ivan Vyhovsky and the Tsardom of Muscovy. It began with Muscovite intervention in internal Ukrainian struggles. Military action was conducted in left-bank Ukraine, east of the Dnieper.
Vyhovsky left the Moscow protectorate during the war, passing (in accordance with the Treaty of Hadiach) as the third equal member ("Grand Duchy of Russia") of the bilateral union of Poland and Lithuania into the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth. In the 1659 battle of Konotop, the Ukrainian Cossacks and their allies (the Crimean Tatars) defeated the main elements of the Muscovite army but could not capitalize on the victory. Vyhovsky's unpopular alliance with the Poles deprived him of most Cossack support, especially the Zaporozhian Sich and the left-bank regiments. He ceded to new hetman Yuri Khmelnytsky, who terminated the Hadiach agreement and made peace with Moscow. The war ended with the Pereyaslav Articles, which established a Muscovite protectorate of Cossack Ukraine.
