Liquidation of the Cossacks in Right-Bank Ukraine (1699)

The destruction of the Cossack regimental order on the Right Bank by a decision of the Polish Sejm of 1699, on lands that Moscow and Warsaw had divided along the Dnipro by the "Eternal Peace" of 1686. Colonel Palii "did not accept the decisions of the general Sejm of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth of 1699 banning the Cossacks on the Right Bank" and "contrary to the terms of the 'Eternal Peace' of 1686 pursued a policy of uniting the Right Bank and the Left Bank"[1].

The backroom partition of Ukraine along the Dnipro: by the "Eternal Peace" of 1686 Moscow officially ceded the Right Bank to Warsaw, without the participation or consent of Ukrainians themselves. The fate of the Right-Bank Cossacks was decided by foreign capitals: the ban of 1699 implemented this partition, against which Palii's Cossacks, "contrary to the terms of the 'Eternal Peace' of 1686," continued the struggle to unite both banks[1].
