Just days before, Umerov was in Brussels discussing defense ties, and U.S. officials admit past peace talks failed, hinting others might lead. Europe is now eyeing direct talks with Putin, though Merkel declines the role. Germany’s foreign minister signals a push for Europe to take center stage in diplomacy, even as Chancellor Merz’s controversial “associate EU membership” offer — rejected by Zelenskyy as insufficient — fuels friction. The timing of Umerov’s Berlin visit hints at deeper EU-Ukraine alignment, as diplomacy races to navigate a volatile battlefield.
