Battle of Kaniv (1662)
From Warlike
Battle of Kaniv, was a battle during the summer campaign in the left-bank of Ukraine of Yuri Khmelnitsky, between the Cossack-Polish troops and the Russian-Cossack army led by Yakym Somko and Grigory Romodanovsky. The battle ended with a crushing defeat for Yuri Khmelnitsky and the hetman's retreat to right-bank Ukraine. It was this defeat that began to raise doubts about Yuri in the Cossacks and as a result, in January 1663, he was overthrown.
