Count Pyotr Soltikov regrouped after Russia’s defeat at Zorndorf (August 1758) and resumed the offensive on the Oder, where he was unwisely attacked at Kay, west of Zullichau, by a heavily outnumbered Prussian force under General Richard von Weddell. The Prussians lost over 6,000 men and Soltikov’s Russians advanced on Frankfurt to join the Austrians at Kunersdorf.
