About $\lim_{n\to +\infty} n\prod_{k=1}^{n-1}\cos^2(k)$

In my research work, I need to show that the sequence $(nu_n)$ tends to 0 where $ (u_n)$ is defined by $$u_{n+1}=u_{n} \cos^{2}(n),\quad u_{0}=1$$ $(u_n)$ is a positive and decreasing sequence. My adempt \begin{align*} u_{n+1}&= \prod_{k=1}^n\cos^2(k) =(\prod_{k=1}^n \frac{e^{k i } + e^{- k i }}{2} )^2 \\ &= 4^{-n}e^{-2(1+2+\cdots+n) \cdot i } \prod_{k=1}^n \left( 1 + e^{2 k i } \right)^2 \\ &=4^{-n}e^{-n(n+1)\cdot i } \prod_{k=1}^n \left( 1 + e^{2 k i } \right)^2 \end{align*} Afterwards, I don't see how to continue
