A focused population profile of Ukrainians from Ternopil, their western Ukrainian background, closest modern genetic matches, ancestry model, and World Genetics G25 heatmap.
Ukrainians from Ternopil come from western Ukraine, in a region historically connected to Galicia, Volhynia, Podolia, Poland-Lithuania, Austria-Hungary, and modern Ukraine. Ternopil's population history sits between Lviv, Zakarpattia, central Ukraine, Poland, Slovakia, and the Carpathian world.
Ukrainian is the main language. Because this reference has a small sample size, it should be interpreted alongside larger Ukrainian regional references such as Zakarpattia, Lviv, broad Ukrainian, and neighboring Polish/Slovak pages.
As a genetic reference, Ukrainian Ternopil is useful for comparison with Zakarpattia, Lviv, Kropyvnytskyi, Cherkasy, Slovak, Polish, Polish Krakow, broad Ukrainian, Pontic Ukrainian, and Ivano-Frankivsk.
In the World Genetics modern G25 table, Ukrainian Ternopil is closest to Ukrainian Zakarpattia, Ukrainian Lviv, Ukrainian Kropyvnytskyi, Ukrainian Cherkasy, Slovak, Polish, Polish Krakow, Ukrainian, Ukrainian Pontic, and Ukrainian Ivano-Frankivsk. The result places Ternopil inside a western/central Ukrainian and neighboring Slavic comparison space.
| Population | Distance |

The ancestry breakdown gives deeper component proportions, while closest matches show modern similarity. Ternopil Ukrainian is best interpreted as a western Ukrainian profile, close to Zakarpattia, Lviv, other Ukrainian regional references, Slovak, and Polish references. The small sample size makes neighboring pages especially useful.
The heatmap should emphasize Ternopil, western Ukraine, Zakarpattia, Lviv, central Ukraine, Slovakia, Poland, Krakow, and the eastern Carpathian region.
Yes. Zakarpattia and Lviv are the closest matches, with other Ukrainian, Slovak, and Polish references nearby.
Polish and Polish Krakow appear among the closest matches, fitting the western Ukrainian and Galicia-adjacent context.
The current Ternopil reference has a small sample size, so it is best read alongside broader Ukrainian and neighboring regional pages.
