The Moldavian–Polish War of 1530-1538 was an armed conflict between Moldavia and the Kingdom of Poland over Pokuttia, a small land on today's Ukrainian-Romanian border. The war ended with a Polish victory after the Battle of Obertyn in 1531 and the signing of a peace treaty in which Pokuttia remained part of Poland. However, Moldavian Hospodar Petru Rareș did not give up, invading Podolia in 1538 defeating a small Polish detachment at Seret, but he was unable to achieve greater success and withdrew to Moldavia which ended the war.
