It's kinda hard to answer this question, since there isn't any exactly the same population as the Poles, however going by genetical, ethnic, linguistic and historical relatedness:

(almost) Completely similar: Lusatians (Sorbs)
Mostly similar: Slovaks, Belarusians
Significantly similar: Czechs, Western Ukrainians, Lithuanians, East Germans
Somewhat similar: Hungarians, Latvians, Ukrainians (the rest), Russians, Swedes, Danish, Slovenians, Germans (the rest), Austrians, Dutch, French, British Isles people, Romanians, Croatians (etc.)
Mostly not similar: Caucasians, Most of the Balkans, Iberians
Not similar at all: -

Note: I had a hard time putting like half of Europe into any of the categories.

[Beowulf]

In my own experience:

Most similar: Iberians, Frenchs, North Italians, swiss

similar: British, Belgian, central and south Italians, south germans and some Balkan ethnicities and maybe Irish

less similar: Dutch, Northern Germans, Greeks, Scandinavians, Poles, Ukrainians, Russians, Finns, and Baltics


if someone have a different opinion let me know

[Andullero]

In my own experience:

Most similar: Iberians, Frenchs, North Italians, swiss

I would put Italos before gabachos, but otherwise, spot on.

I would put Italos before gabachos, but otherwise, spot on.

Eb vashu mate! Who told you fools that the Poles are close to the Belarusians? Genetically, Belarusians are further from the Poles than all other Slavs. They don't understand your language. Western and central Russians, as well as mixed Slavic-Lithuanian regions, are close to Belarusians.
