Ambassadors from all 27 European Union member states convened in Brussels on Saturday morning for an emergency meeting to assess the outcomes of the recent Russia-U.S. summit held in Alaska, according to a diplomatic source.
"An emergency meeting of COREPER (the Committee of Permanent Representatives) began on Saturday morning to discuss further steps on Ukraine," the source said, News.Az reports, citing TASS.
The committee is in charge of drafting all ministerial decisions for the Council of the European Union.
According to the source, "the sides intend to coordinate positions and possibly make their own statement" in the context of the Russian-US talks.
On August 15, a summit between Russia and the US took place at a military base in Alaska. The talks lasted more than three hours and included several formats: one-on-one in the American leader's limousine en route to the main venue and in a small group of "three on three." The Russian delegation included Kremlin aide Yury Ushakov and Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, while the US delegation included Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Trump's special envoy Steve Witkoff.
