Poland’s King Casimir IV, his commerce threatened by the Turk’s seizure of the ports of Kiliya and Akkerman, organizes a league against the Ottoman empire, forcibly expels the Turks from Moldavia, and marches twenty thousand troops to Kolomyya on the Pruth River in 1485, where Ottoman sultan Bayezid II enters into peace negotiations.

Although a truce is arranged, the disposition of captured fortresses on both sides cannot be successfully negotiated.

However, the diversion of Poland by the threat of Muscovy under Ivan III the Great leaves Poland's southeastern front quiet after 1484.
