Europe has finally reached its limit—can the “Merz–Macron–Stammer” triangle shake up Putin?

According to foreign media reports, Germany, France, and the United Kingdom are discussing with Ukraine the possibility of ending the war through negotiations, seeking to bring Putin back to the negotiating table. The US-led negotiations have hit a stalemate, and Russian military casualties are increasing, causing a shift in the situation. Ukrainian drone attacks are gradually showing effectiveness inside Russia, and growing opposition in the Kremlin to Putin’s military actions has increased the pressure. The allies hope to open dialogue now to avoid a harsh winter, but the final decision-making power lies with Zelensky, and Starmer will consult with Merz and Macron.
