[4] Stavuchany (Moldovan Stăuceni) is a small moldavian village some 12 km southwest of Khotyn (today's Chernivtsi Oblast in Ukraine, Ukrainian: Ставчанами, Russian: Ставучаны).

However, at this time, the Russians built a large number of bridges across the Shulanets River on their right flank (where Karl Biron, another brother of Empress's lover, commanded) and with their entire army rushed there, bypassing the fortified positions of the Turks from the east.

The Turks launched several attacks trying to stop this advance, but were completely defeated and fled, leaving their fortified camp, which was captured by the Russian army.

[2][9] As a result of the Battle of Stavuchany, the Ottoman fortress of Khotyn was captured by Russians on August 30 (19), Soon after that, Münnich entered Iași on September 14 (3), and occupied most of the Principality of Moldavia.

Despite those victories, the Russian court decided to accept French mediation, that resulted in the Treaty of Niš (October 3) by which Russia had to return almost all captured territories, including those gained in Moldavia.
