Any steppe people that wandered into the Carpathians interacted with the Rus'ians. When the Rurikovichs under Oleg first took Kiev, they would follow the rivers into the Black Sea. Rus'ians immediately competed with the Khazar Turks. I am uncertain if any Khazars were subsumed by Varangians, but it would set the trend of steppe peoples, such as Cumans, interacting and having intermarriage with the Rus' nobles. As for Scythians, it wouldn't surprise me if those Iranian nomads also intermarried with the Slavs towards the end of their culture. It would be similar to how the Iranian Alans both settled in the Caucasus and migrated into Europe to ultimately be at the mercy of Germanic tribes, the Vandals did adopt their remnants. The Ukrainians, like the Rus'ians long before them, descend from the mythical Rus who led his tribe east, or that is what legend says.
