April 1654 CE
The Crimean Tatars switch sides after Khmelnitsky’s acceptance of Russian overlordship, and begin raiding the Ukraine.
This intensifies the conflict, as the Tatars are now unrestrained in their warfare against Khmelnytsky.
Tatar raids depopulate whole areas of Ukraine.
Cossacks, aided by the Tsar's army, take revenge on Polish possessions in Belarus, and by the spring of 1654, the Cossacks have driven the Poles from much of the country
