The definition I am asking for here is OTL Ukraine, not just the Crimea and surrounding area.They were pretty far into it at around 1680. What do you define as the Ukraine?

That is true. What you have to do is to allow the Ottomans to hold that area for a fair amount of time against the inevitable Russian and Polish aunslaught.Well they were not far from Kiev and were trying to get the Cossacks under their suzerainty. And I believe they attacked Lviv at one point.
