The Battle of Kutyszcze took place on 26 September 1660, during the Polish-Russian War of 1654—1667, and was part of a campaign conducted by the Crown army under the command of Jerzy Sebastian Lubomirski and Stanisław Rewera Potocki, supported by Tatar forces.

Their objective was to destroy the Russian-Cossack army under Vasyl Sheremetev and Tymofy Tzciura, before they joined forces with the troops of Yurii Khmelnytsky.

Polish forces quickly organised a pursuit, catching up with the enemy's artillery in the Kutyszcze wilderness, a few kilometres east of Lubar.

The hussar charge was conducted according to the principles of the later Hetman's Order slowly approaching the enemy, withstanding fire and striking violently with lances.

[4][5][2][3] The Battle of Kutyszcze did not determine the outcome of the campaign, but it weakened the morale of the Russian-Cossack army and delayed its march towards Cudnow.
