Then Khmelnytsky’s biography was followed by military actions against the tsarist troops in the war between the Rzeczpospolita and Russia. In 1648, Khmelnitsky was elected hetman of the Zaporozhye army, although several years earlier Khmelnitsky had already been proclaimed a hetman, but refused.

In September 1651, after the battle with the Poles and Lithuanians under the White Church, the following unprofitable treaty was concluded. Then, near the tract of Batog, the Polish army was defeated.
