There is an area of Russia where easy invasion could occur from Europe. Taking Ukraine is key to close it with mountains.

Yes, you are referring to the North European Plain. Historically and geopolitically, this flat, open expanse of land has been the primary route for invasions into Russia from Europe.
Controlling Ukraine alters this strategic vulnerability:
The Geography Problem: The North European Plain
The North European Plain is a geographical corridor that stretches from France and Germany all the way to the Ural Mountains.
• The Funnel Effect: Near Poland, the plain is relatively narrow (a "chokepoint"). However, as it moves eastward toward Russia, it widens exponentially like a funnel. By the time it reaches the Russian border, it is a vast, open terrain with virtually no natural defensive barriers—such as large mountain ranges or deep rivers—to block an invading army.
• Historical Invasions: This "invasion highway" was used by the Poles in 1605, the Swedes in 1708, Napoleon in 1812, and Nazi Germany in 1941. Russia’s historic defense strategy has always relied on "strategic depth"—using its massive landmass to absorb, overextend, and exhaust an attacker.
Does taking Ukraine "close" it?
Taking Ukraine does not entirely close the North European Plain, but from the Kremlin's geopolitical perspective, it significantly reduces Russia’s exposure and restores its strategic depth
