Trump meant Russia is not taking over the nation of Ukraine. Look at a map and understand the size of the nation. It would take a WW II type of invasion. No one has that force structure at this point in time.

Russia could take over the Ukraine anytime they felt like it. The country is very flat and poorly defended. The reason they haven’t is the country is not worth owning. This isn’t the soviet Union where they exploit nations with slave labor thus owning the Ukraine would be a massive drain on Russia. The only reasons Russia has been interfering in the Ukraine is A. to protect their navel base, B. Protect Russians from Ukrainian Nazis in the east, and C. keep the Ukraine out NATO. The last they want is NATO holding a dagger to the Russian heartland.
