Sweden had captured Ivangorod during the Russo-Swedish War of 1495–1497, and offered it to Livonia, an offer which had been refused.

Moscow had perceived this as a Swedish–Livonian alliance.

As negotiations fail, Livonia begins preparing for war.

In May 1500, a war had broken out between Moscow and the Grand Duchy of Lithuania.

On May 17, 1501, Livonia and Lithuania conclude a ten-year alliance in Vilnius.
