Hey! A couple of stand-stills and a genuine loss! Nice way to keep the story engaging.
Seriously, though, it's nice to see there are some hiccups on the road to continued Ottoman dominance.
Concentrate on some pickings that will actually enhance your empire (anything left to take in Arabia, perhaps?) and return the favor to the Russians at a later time. Perhaps a nice slash and burn cavalry raid to put Moscow to the torch would be suitable repayment for the embarrassment of this loss?
