It's more likely that unmixed Uralics, like the Finns (as opposed to Hungarians, who because they were located in Central Europe mixed with Aryans), are not exactly like Aryans, but rather something intermediate between west Eurasian humans and east Eurasian humans.
If you look at other Uralic groups like Nenets and Khanty, this hypothesis looks even stronger. In addition, the so-called "Asiatic" traits of Russians probably stem instead from some historical mixing with Uralic peoples.
