December 1707 CE

Peter offers at this point in 1707 to retrocede everything he has so far occupied (essentially Ingria) except Saint Petersburg and the line of the Neva, to avoid a full-scale war, but Charles XII refuses.

He instead initiates a march from Saxony to invade Russia, marching to the east from Leipzig in December with sixty thousand coalition troops.

Another sixteen thousand soldiers are waiting on the outskirts of Riga, guarding the Swedish supply lines.
