The Ottoman forces are estimated at about 40,000. Russian numbers are said to have been inferior. The Ottoman forces were demoralized due to previous defeats and poor logistics (including a year of withheld back pay). The Russian victory was one of the major reasons why a month later, on 21 July, the Ottomans were forced to sign the unfavorable Treaty of Küçük Kaynarca.
