The Suvorovo culture (4500-4100 BC) controlled the Budjak and Dobrudja regions of Ukraine, Romania & Bulgaria. It signals the first expansion of Indo-Europeans (proto-Hittites) from the Stredny Stog culture into Old Europe. 
The Stredny Stog culture was one of the first Indo-European cultures -- and could be the Indo-European Urheimat. It had contacts with the Cucuteni-Trypillians and expanded over regions previously controlled by them and by the Gumelnita-Karanovo culture.
The Indo-European proto-Hittites continued to move south into the Balkans (giving rise to the Ezero culture) in their way to Anatolia, where they finally settled and gave rise to the Hittite kingdoms of early antiquity.
The Hittite kingdoms would evolve into the Hittite empire, which was ultimately destroyed by Assyria.
The Gumelnita culture was an Old European culture which had previously existed over the area of Budjak and Dobrudja.
