The Chyhyryn campaign of 1677 was an unsuccessful campaign by the Ottoman-led coalition against the Cossack-Russian defenders of Chyhyryn. On 3 of August, the Ottoman army besieged Chyhyryn, which was held by 12,000-strong garrison. At the end of August, the Russo-Cossack army of Romodanovsky and Samoylovych crossed the Dnieper. The Ottoman-Crimean forces tried to stop them but were decisively defeated at Buzhyn and on 29 of August, Ibrahim Pasha burned the Turkish camp and retreated, while the Russo-Cossack army entered Chyhyryn on 5 of September.
