Should Russians be considered in their own slavic group like Northern slavs? Instead being counted as eastern slavs?? Russians and ukrainians are quite different genetically. While the other slavic groups like west and south slavs are pretty much the same, of course here and there is some halo group more russians have a lot of halogroup N while belarus and ukraine havent which is quite significant.
You also can see that linguistically their language is also very different. East slavic languages immediately brought up to ukrainian and northern russian before any russian language was finally made. It was only until south russian and northern russian united instead that the east slavic language brought into russian and ukrainian to begin with.
