What was said

… Sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn't. So, um, so that's the, that's the difference there. Alrighty, so, yeaah, you were talking about moving forward and moving forward in their history, so uhm, go anywhere you'd like to go.

What we found

Supports. The Treaty of Zboriv (1649) transferred the Bratslav, Chernihiv and Kyiv voivodeships to Cossack administration under Khmelnytsky.[2][3][4]

Supports. The Zboriv articles defined Cossack territory as the Kyiv, Chernihiv and Bratslav palatinates, and the Polish side accepted them in the signed agreement.[3][5]

Context. The Treaty of Bila Tserkva (1651) reduced Cossack territory to Kyiv alone and returned Bratslav and Chernihiv to Polish administration, so the Cossack control was not lasting.[1]

Context. No source mentions a 'Board of Agreement of 1649 and 1650'; the claimant's wording appears to refer to the Zboriv agreement, and the 1650 date is not tied to any source.[2][3]
