The Battle of Dubienka occurs during the Polish–Russian War of 1792 (War of the Second Partition of Poland) in which, on July 18, 1792, the Polish army under the command of General Tadeusz Kościuszko defends the Bug River crossing against the Russian army under General Michail Kachovski.
Although the Russians have a numerical advantage of 5:1 over the Polish defenders, their attacks are stymied by field fortifications raised by the Poles, leading to a Polish tactical victory.
Subsequent Russian flanking forces the Poles to retreat to avoid being encircled.
After the Polish-Lithuanian forces leave their forward positions, the Russian army occupies the area.
