Peter had been effectively defeated by a much larger Turkish army when he attempted to invade Turkish Moldavia, but to Charles's disappointment, the Turks had made a treaty which suited their aims. The treaty saw Azov returned to Turkey, and the destruction of a series of fortresses including Taganrog, distant concerns to the Swedes. A clause in which Peter promised to evacuate his troops from Poland and not to interfere in Poland again was not implemented.
