Greeks.
They founded colonies on the Black Sea coast (e.g. Olbia, Chersonesus) from the 7th–6th century BCE — earlier than the Slavs (who emerge in the early medieval period, c. 6th century CE) and the Vikings/Varangian Rus (9th century CE). Note that long before any of these groups, Paleolithic and Bronze‑Age peoples (Scythians, Sarmatians, etc.) lived in the region.
