I was actually looking at the Caspian Sea instead of the Black Sea. It's easier to make this mistake than you'd think, as the whole Central Asian region was, for the most part, historically Indo-Iranian or Aryan.
They're not a fan of The Apricity, and they've also made the startling, fraudulent, fabricated and false claim that FTDNA's 'Ancient European Origins' feature is incorrect and misleading! They obviously think the Indo-European component is a bit silly, and not to be taken seriously, but in the end you can't help feeling that they're butthurt over the fact that they scored comparatively low on the ancientOrigins test measuring Indo-European ancestry. There's simply no way that this level of "crazy" and "insane" can be for real.
Luckily for us, we now have Genoplot's calculators to guide us and to figure out how much East Asian ancestry someone has, but as Science Magazine explains, to determine how much East Asian or African ancestry someone has, their DNA is matched against a true "East Asian" or "African" sample. Though, of course, it's not as simple as that. Not everyone, however, agrees on what this is, and even if they did, that East Asian or African may have ancestry that's more mixed, or more "multiple," than can be gleaned from current techniques.
I have recently gone through the online calculators available at the Genoplot website, and I can only find that the Swedes and the east Europeans score low on tests measuring East Asian or Mongol ancestry. Cossacks, from what I can see, generally carry some degree of Mongol genetic ancestry (many of the Transbaykal Cossacks, as Rayfield (2013) points out, were of Buryat Mongol blood), and Ukranians are on average around 1.5 percent Paleo-Asian. And that's about it. But I highly doubt that Ukrainians even carry 1 to 2 percent East Asian genes on average, regardless of what Eupedia would have you think or would have us believe. Some samples actually show that they are 100 percent Aryan. I have yet to find any trace, or, at least, any substantial trace, of them (Mongols) or any traces of East Asian elements in Swedes or in any other European genome. However, this is not to say that these samples, or at least some of these samples, do not contain minor amounts of East Asian genetic elements, or at least some amount of it. Moreover, certain samples of Swedish origin or of Ukrainian origin may indeed contain small traces of East Asian ancestry or contain traces of certain East Asian genetic materials, as the following example illustrates.

Again, this seems to be correct as well. And I seem to be getting it right.

The Swedes and the Ukrainians, on the other hand, do not carry those genes, and their ancestral components are pretty much the same, namely, Yamnaya Steppe, Anatolia Neolithic, and Baltic Narva Hunter-Gatherer.
