Defeat
Ostranin's force was defeated at the Battle of Żownin, near Żownin in the Kiev Voivodeship. Subsequently the Cossacks elected a new Hetman in the person of Dmytro Hunia. However, soon the uprising was quelled by Polish-Lithuanian forces led by Jeremi Wiśniowiecki and Mikołaj Potocki. After a series of further skirmishes the Cossacks capitulated at the Starzec river. Hunia and some other Cossacks managed to flee to Russia.
