If you include Russia as a whole, its the biggest country in the world, so also the biggest of Europe.

Otherwise the kingdom of Denmark is biggest (including Greenland and faroe islands).

Ukraine is the largest country completely on the continent of Europe.

Russia is the largest country in Europe.

Russia has a total area of 17,098,242 km2. However, since the country spans both Europe and Asia this number is rarely considered the area of Russia when referring to Europe. The recognized area of European Russia is about 4,000,000 km2, which would still make Russia the largest European country by far.

The Ukraine is the largest country wholly in Europe.

The Ukraine has an area of 603,628 km2. France's area is more than this, however this includes area outside of Europe. France has integral parts in North America, South America, and Africa, which all put together with Metropolitan France, is larger than that of the Ukraine. When just counting Metropolitan France, or the area of France solely in Europe, the Ukraine is larger.

If you were to count territories, some would immediately think Denmark would be the largest because of its territory of Greenland. However, this area still comes nowhere close to Russia's total area or European area alone. And even if you were to include territories, Denmark would not be the largest. The largest would be the United Kingdom, then France, and then Denmark.
