Dnieper River as the demarcation line between the
Ottoman Empire and
Moscow's domain. All sides agreed not to settle the territory between the
Southern Bug and Dnieper rivers. After the signing of the treaty, the
Nogai hordes still retained the right to live as nomads in the southern
steppes of
Ukraine, while the
Cossacks retained the right to fish in the Dnieper and its
tributaries; to obtain
salt in the south; and to sail on the Dnieper and the
Black Sea.[1] The Ottoman sultan then recognized Muscovy's sovereignty in the
Left-bank Ukraine region[1] and the Zaporozhian Cossack domain, while the southern part of the
Kiev region, the
Bratslav region, and
Podolia were left under Ottoman control.
