Zhvanets (Ukrainian: Жванець) is a village (a selo) in Kamianets-Podilskyi Raion (district) of Khmelnytskyi Oblast in western Ukraine.
The following year, 40,000 troops led by a Ukrainian Hetman of Zaporozhian Cossacks Petro Konashevych-Sahaidachny joined Zhvanets and took part in the Khotyn War.
[3][4] The castle was converted into a prison for captive Poles, including merchants from Kamieniec Podolski,[5] thus, during the Battle of Chocim of 1673, it was destroyed by the order of John III Sobieski.
[3] During the Polish–Ottoman War of 1683–1699, John III Sobieski returned to Żwaniec in 1684, and the armies of Great Crown Hetman Stanisław Jan Jabłonowski and Lithuanian Great Hetman Kazimierz Jan Sapieha joined forces there.
[3] After the war, the devastated border town was re-settled by newcomers from Przemyśl and Sanok, Armenians from Kamieniec Podolski and Greeks from Chocim, with the latter two groups specializing in trade.
