For easier comparison, I'm excluding south slavs from this claim. Therefore, only what's left in red here:
Starting with baltics, some of them often have quite robust and sharp facial features, as characterized by the west baltid phenotype, which if I had to guess, is one of the regions with the most robusticity per capita:
Here is a school in lithuania, which although is a country filled with other eastern european groups, is quite representative of what "actual lithuanians" look like according to a friend of mine who was born and raised there:
Now, compare this to a polish school:
Of course, some of the people will have a common look, but I believe there is a degree of distinction here between the two pics that I've observed before.
Another thing that seems to be true is another group that has sharp facial features - north pontids - mainly reside in the eastern slav region, with a much higher concentration in ukraine/south russia. So, although it's still present in west slavs, it's in a smaller degree.
Rather, it seems like neo danubian and gorids (both brachycephalic with not-so-sharp facial features) are much more common and prevalent than in other countries on the region. Another group that seems to be more prevalent in the west slavic region as well is the pre slavic, however, it seems to be a less prevalent group like the 2 mentioned before (this one i'm not 100% sure though).
Also, on the other hand, european russians, just like baltics (especially east baltids), seem to be more mixed with eastern nordid groups than west slavs are. I posted this guy from Kazakhstan on another thread I made recently and, despite what many said, he does not look scandinavian AT ALL. Neither does he look west slavic:

He just screams russian/east slavic to me, which from what I observed and noted here, makes quite a lot of sense.
Besides all of that, you don't often see faelids or other CM groups in western slav regions as you do germany and westwards, so it's not really at play here either.
Conclusion: from what I can tell, all groups close to west slavs have some mixing that gives them taller skulls or/and sharper, more robust bones + there is a smaller concentration of gorids/neo danubians who are more child-like and the most common among west slavs
NOTE: this is coming from someone who has never been to eastern europe, therefore my observations come from common media/sports team pics/school pics/online dating experiments + I'm not a specialist on all of this shit yet so feel free to correct me in case u got evidence that I'm wrong
