Merkel admitted that she was not allowed to establish a dialogue with Putin before leaving the post of German Chancellor:
“In the summer of 2021, after the meeting between Presidents Biden and Putin, I, together with Emmanuel Macron, once again wanted to establish an independent European format for discussions with Putin in the EU Council. Some objected, but I no longer had the strength to move it forward. she's already gone"
