The three countries with the largest land area are Russia, Canada, and China.
Russia, France, and the Ukraine are the three largest countries in Europe by land area. However, including only land that is entirely in the continent of Europe, the three largest countries would be the Ukraine, France, and Spain. You may notice that the positions of the Ukraine and France are switched. This is because France includes integral lands located outside of Europe in the continents of North America, South America, and Africa. This are not territories, but integral lands and are considered just as much a part of France as say Paris. When not including lands outside of Europe, France's area is lower than that of the Ukraine, as Metropolitan France (the area of France located only in Europe) is smaller than that of the Ukraine. Russia is also unincluded because Russia is a transcontinental country, spanning both Europe and Asia.

Russia is the largest European country with a total area of 17,098,242 km2. However, Russia is a transcontinental country between Europe and Asia. Despite this, about 4,000,000 km2 of Russia's land is within Europe, making it the largest area in Europe by far still.Including only area in Europe and no transcontinental countries, the four largest European countries would be:Ukraine (603,628 km2)France (551,695 km2 - Metropolitan France only)Spain (505,992 km2)Sweden (449,964 km2)
Russia is the largest country in Europe (including transcontinental countries) in terms of area and population. The largest country by area wholly in Europe is the Ukraine while the largest by population would be Germany. No. Just the European portion of Russia alone is over 3 times the size of France. The Ukraine is the largest country wholly in Europe, however.
