The Battle of Konotop was one of the last battles in the course of Left-bank uprising. The Tatar-Cossack army of Grigory Doroshenko clashed with the Russian forces led by Grigory Romodanovsky near the city of Konotop (present-day Ukraine). Allied army inflicted heavy losses on the Russian army and forced it to abandon the Left-bank Ukraine but failed to achieve a complete strategic victory, which led to surrender of some Left-bank regiments led by Demian Mnohohrishny to Russia and eventual failure of uprising.
