Did you try brokers?
Not recently, but a couple of months ago I was told they're not buying. Are they buying now?

Not buying anything? Or specifically not LH? I wouldn't be sure if they're buying now but I'm surprised that they wouldn't buy it since it should be enough for 1 way in J to EU and you get better availability than booking with United.

But maybe they don't have anybody or by far not enough people traveling to EU now?

I would love to. There's just this annoying little thing called COVID that's preventing me from doing so. And probably others too.
