| | Bohdan Khmelnytsky — Lviv Ukraine tourist guide |
 | | In the next few years Khmelnytsky devoted his attention mostly to his estates in the Chyhyryn region, but in 1645 he served with a detachment of 2,000–2,500 Cossacks in France, and probably took part in the siege of Dunkirk. |
 | | By this time his reputation for leadership was such that King Wladyslaw IV Vasa, in putting together a coalition of Poland, Venice, and other states against Turkey, turned to him to obtain the support of the Zaporozhian Cossacks. |
 | | The new landowners of the Chyhyryn region, A. Koniecpolski, Crown Hetman Stanislaw Zolkiewski, and his son, Crown Flag-bearer A. Zolkiewski, treated Khmelnytsky with particular hostility. |
