We have 6 Y DNA samples from Yamna culture i dont know exactley what spot but theuy are in Kurgens tradtional Indo European burial. The German scientist have not released the results yet they have had them since at least June 2013 probably alot longer. They also have alot of mtDNA from Yamna culture dating 5,000-6,000 years old and mtDNA from later Urlaic cultures from the north that conquered them 4,000-5,000ybp. They mentioned some info in a Scientific German article that was extremely long. They said they had same pale skin genes as modern Europeans, mainly brown eyes, no Mongliod mtDNA haplogroups all Caucasin, same phenotype as modern europeans.
Here are a few links that explain it

Yamna culture gave birth to Corded ware culture which conquered most of eastern Europe and about 5,000ybp spoke proto Balto Slavic. we have four Y DNA samples from Corded ware culture two 4,800 year old ones in southwest Poland one had G probably G2a and the other had I or J i would guess I2a1b. Then two from central germany 4,600 years old both had R1a1a but their subclade's probably went deeper.
Yamna culture also gave birth to early Indo Iranian culture's that began to migrate and dominte central asia 5,000-4,000ybp. Sinshta and Abashevo cultures. The 4,000 year old tarium mummies in west china were most likley very early indo iranians. We have eight Y DNA samples from them all had R1a1a. We have 22 mtDNA samples only three had Caucasin haplogroups. 14 has C4 which probably means their direct mother line came from the same east asian people group. They were a total mix of European and east asian. Since we know yamna people lived in Europe nd now from DNA they were Europeans and their decedants migrated to actulley this area of asia. Corded ware which also decended from them we know they had some R1a1a so it makes total sense Tarium mummies decended from Yamna culture and were early Indo iranians.
There also are three Y DNa samples from Adronovo culture dating 3,800-3,400 years old Adrnovo is just north of tarium mummies they were in south siberia. We know they decended from Yamna and were very early indo iranians one had Siberian C and two had R1a1a. Their mtDNA out of 9 samples was all Caucasin except one which had Z1. The Adrnovo people had basicalley the same mtDNA haplogroups as later Indo iranian cultures remains like Sycthians and their hair color was mainly blonde-light brown their eye color mainly blue or green also all later Indo iranian y DNA samples had R1a1a and their are 17. They were also shown to be very unrelated to Yamna DNA samples who had mainly brown eyes.
What this shows is their is no Indo European ethnicty. They were a mix of diff ethnic groups that lived around Russia, Ukriane, and the Caucus mountains the Indo Iranians ancestors could have been conquered by Yamna who knows maybe in Y DNA they decended from yamna but their full ancestry came from another people group. Yamna culture was very big so they had diff ethnic groups in diff areas. I kind of went off track Yamna culture would have been R1a1a1b they broke off into Balto Slavic R1a1a1b1 and Indo iranian R1a1a1b2. proto Indo European R1a is R1a1a1 M417 and it probably started in Dnieper donets cultures. Yamna culture most likley spoke either proto Indo European or proto Balto Slavic Indo Iranian. Or the northern half spoke proto Balto Slavic Indo iranian since both Indo Iranians and Balto Slavs language originated in Yamna culture and they are brothers in y DNA their languages also most likley form their own branch.
