As a result, the western borders of Russia became subject to multiple attacks by Teutonic Order of Livonia in the beginning of 1480. In January of 1480, Ivan's brothers Boris Volotsky and Andrey Bolshoy, dissatisfied with his growing princely authority, turned against him. Akhmat Khan decided to take advantage of this situation and in June of 1480 sent a reconnaissance unit to investigate the right bank of the Oka river. In the fall, his army started to advance towards Moscow. Facing such a grave danger, Russian boyars divided into two groups: one, led by okolnichies Oschera and Mamon, wanted Ivan III to flee; the other group asserted the necessity to fight the Horde.

On October 8, 1480 Akhmat, planning to bypass the Oka river from the west (avoiding Ivan's regiments, located in Kolomna, Serpukhov and Tarusa) and unite his army with Casimir's, approached the Ugra river — Oka's tributary. However, Akhmat was met by the Russian army under the joint command of Ivan Molodoy (Ivan Junior, Ivan's son) and Andrey Menshoy (Andrey Smaller, Ivan's brother). Akhmat's attempt to cross the Ugra river was rebutted in a 4-day battle. It seems that Akhmat retreated to the town of Vorotynsk, where he decided to wait for Casimir's army. Ivan III located his army in Kremenets and started to negotiate with the khan, trying to buy some time to restore his relations with his rebellious brothers (hence, the Great standing on the Ugra river). It took Ivan III four days (from September, 30 to October, 3) to sort things out between him and his brothers and another 17 days for his brothers' armies to arrive at Kremenets (on October, 20).
