In 1654, Russia supported the Ukrainian Bogdan Khmel'nitskii in his struggle with Poland; as a result, under the Truce of Andrussovo (1667), Moscow gained the left bank of the Dnieper as far as Moscow. Kiev and Smolensk were granted to Russia for limited time periods, but Moscow reneged and never gave them back. In its disputes with Sweden, Russia temporarily regained three Baltic ports in 1658, but they were returned to Sweden (Treaty of Kardis, 1661).
Muscovy was more successful expanding eastward into Siberia. Here there was no systematic policy, rather the gradual movement of settlers and fur traders. But exploration soon brought Russia into conflict with China. The resulting Treaty of Nerchinsk (1689), in which Moscow ceded the Amur Valley to China, stabilized the border with the Manchu dynasty for the next two centuries. In 1650 Semen Dezhnev reached the Kamchatka Peninsula, which projects from the Asian mainland between the Sea of Okhotsk and the Bering Sea and Pacific Ocean.
