Ottoman Ukraine (Ukrainian: Османська Україна), Khan Ukraine (Ukrainian: Ханська Україна), Hanshchyna (Ukrainian: Ганьщина)[1] was a region of right-bank Ukraine (including southern regions of the Kiev Voivodeship), which came under Ottoman suzerainty in the aftermath of Petro Doroshenko's union with the sultan. It is also known by its Turkic name Yedisan. The first recorded use of the term Khanska Ukraina is traced to 1737[citation needed] when the Russian secret agent Lupul urged Empress Anna of Russia to attack Ottoman Ukraine.
