Supports. Several sources say the Turkish army captured Chyhyryn in 1678 and declared Yurii Khmelnytsky a new hetman of Ukraine, 'although in reality he was only a puppet for the Ottoman Sultan.'[1][2][3]
Supports. The Day's 2002 account says the Turks proclaimed Yuri Khmelnytsky Hetman of Right Bank Ukraine and that he was an unwitting political puppet of the Turkish sultan.[4]
Supports. The Encyclopedia of Ukraine says the Turks used Khmelnytsky to consolidate their rule over Right-Bank Ukraine, and that he was allowed to return in 1677 and proclaimed himself a commander under Ottoman backing.[5]
Context. The Dergipark article says the Ottoman state appointed Yuriy Khmelnytskyi as hetman to restore its authority over the Cossacks, which fits the 'Hetman of the Turks' framing.[6]
