Aftermath
As the battle ended, King John Casimir made the error of not pressing even harder the pursuit of the fleeing Cossacks. After making promises of a pecuniary nature, Khmelnytsky was soon released by the Tatar Khan. He was then able to reassemble the Cossack host, which was able to present a substantial army to confront the Poles at Bila Tserkva. John Casimir's heart was not in the fight, and agreed to a truce, the Treaty of Bila Tserkva, with Khmelnytsky, on favourable terms to the Cossacks. The Ukrainian revolt far from ending would continue for several more years.
