Ottoman Ukraine (Ukrainian: Османська Україна), Khan Ukraine (Ukrainian: Ханська Україна), Hanshchyna (Ukrainian: Ганьщина)^[1] is a historical term for right-bank Ukraine (as well as for the southern regions of the Kiev Voivodeship), also known by its Turkic name Yedisan. The first recorded use of the term Khanska Ukraina are traced to 1737^{[citation needed]} when the Russian secret-agent Lupul urged Empress Anna of Russia to attack Ottoman Ukraine.

History

Officially, the southern, coastal edge of territory had been occupied by the Crimean Khanate since the 1520s in order to enable the slave raidings.

Since 1669, the Ottoman authorities granted protectorate to the Cossack statehood west of the Dnieper and designated it into a separate sanjak which was headed by Cossack Hetman Petro Doroshenko. It was confirmed by the Treaty of Buchach in 1672.
