She further explained that the fact that Putin brought Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov along with him to this final visit made it clear to Merkel that her power has crumbled, given the fact that in the past their meetings were “often in private.”

“I no longer had the power to push my ideas through because everyone knew ‘she’ll be gone by autumn’,” she said, describing how she had tried to establish a round of European talks after a meeting in the summer of 2021 between the US president, Joe Biden, and Putin. “Had I been standing again in the September I’d have kept drilling down, but … at my final meeting in Moscow [with Putin and his foreign minister, Sergei Lavrov], the feeling was clear: from a political power point of view, you’re finished. For Putin it is only power that counts.”
Merkel said she had no regrets about not standing for office again, after 16 years at the helm. “Somebody new was needed. Domestically it was high time and from a foreign policy perspective… (there were) so many things we tried again and again, but were not moving a millimetre on. Not just over Ukraine, but also Transnistria, Moldova, Georgia, Abkhazia, Syria and Libya. It was time for a new approach.”
She said she sometimes woke in the night and worried about many of the dramatic events taking place in the world. “I think about how history doesn’t repeat itself, but how the horror disappears as the eye witnesses die. And the spirit of reconciliation also disappears.”

It seems Ukraine has been made use of by NATO allies to be soldiers to fight Russia? Why Ukrainian soldiers so stupid to help other countries fight using their own lives?
