Northern Ukraine (from Rivne to Chernigov/Sumy) is probably indistinguishable from Southern Belarus (Brest and Gomel).

there seems to be an west/east divide.. Western Polesye is more Celto-Germanic. And the Early Slavic samples are aslo like this. But it's a slight difference, and our sample size is very small, it could change with time.

There is practically no Celto-Germanic influence in the East Slavs unless we're talking about recent German in some individuals (from the last 200 years). But even that might be nearly undetectable by Gedmatch (see Not a Cop's results as well as the guy with Swiss ancestry).

That minor Celto-Germanic like substratum in early Slavs could be I2-din carriers assimilating with Baltic like R1a mass and creating proto-Slavs.

ok added

Current Ukrainian samples are too western. You can see in Europe1 PCA or Europe2 PCA, that some Ukrainians plot near East Germans.

For example sample Ukrainian:UKR-1283 plots like Czechs or East Germans.

There is also academic sample from Sumy Oblast (North-East Ukraine near the Russian border) which plots with East Germans / Czechs.

These Ukrainians are likely mixed with minority ethnic groups in Ukraine.

I'm surprised they were published by scientists as "typical Ukrainians".

Hello everyone! I have a question: did anyone come across autosomal samples from northwestern Ukraine - Zhytomyr, Rivne and Volyn oblast(region)?

This Volhynian Ukrainian from GEDmatch is actually close to academic Polish samples from Lublin Voivodeship:

Do you have another samples from Volhynya? And what are the results of the academic samples?
