The White Ruthenia Campaign or the Raid on White Ruthenia (Ukrainian: Білоруський рейд Наливайка) was a major raid carried out by rebellious Zaporozhian Cossacks led by Severyn Nalyvaiko against the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth as a part of Nalyvaiko Uprising on the territories of what is now Belarus. The raid resulted with a seizure of large parts of White Ruthenia by the Cossacks, supported by local rebellious peasants and their withdrawal in early 1596.
