In the 11th and 12th centuries, almost all the Dnieper Balts, except the Eastern Galindians, were assimilated by the eastern Slavs.in the article Dnieper Balts, it seems as though Eastern Galindians would be a subgroup of Dnieper Balts, although I can't find any source stating that explicitly and clearly.-- Cukrakalnis ( talk)

Overall:
I did a copyedit of the article to remove what I thought was prose that was not in
WP:WIKIVOICE. Please review the edits and message me if there are any concerns. QPQ is not necessary because nominator has less than 5 DYK noms. I approve ALT3 (and did not check the others, because I thought ALT3 was the most interesting.)

None of the key points make any sense. So many claims are made that contradict long-standing, well-established historical facts of Ukraine's history:
Slavicisation of Ukraine's inhabitants in the 700's and 800's, even though Ukrainians were mostly pagan until Volodymyr the Great's 988 Christian conversion?
Claims of ancient Baltic presence in Slavic countries like Ukraine, Poland, and Belarus that mention every ancient Baltic group except the one that supposedly lived on the Dnipro Basin at the time, a.k.a. the Neuri?
Claims of a tiny Slavic presence that only extended to and included a small part of the Russia, which contradicts the early claim of a "Slavic invasion", with implicit large-scale Slavicisation?
I cleaned this article up as best as I could. I have no ill-will to Lithuanians, but this whole article comes across as a Kremlin-made propaganda piece making the case for Lithuanian irredentism, with all the typical hallmarks that's to be expected from their factory of tripe - there's literally a citation of Zigmas Zinkevičius from 2022, even though he's been dead since 2018.
