Why are there no Eastern European samples (Russia, Poland, Ukraine, Baltics, Moldova)?

Why the steppe-Baltic corridor is covered by the dedicated Ancient Eastern European Report.

The Eastern European plain and Baltic corridor — Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Ukraine, Moldova, and western Russia — is covered by our dedicated Ancient Eastern European Report. Including those samples here would blur the Greek-anchored Balkan and Mediterranean narrative with the steppe and forest-steppe corridor that defines the Eastern European story.

If you have substantial Eastern European or Baltic ancestry, the Ancient Eastern European Report is the right companion to this one.
