Sputnik comes live from Brest, France, where the EU's High Representative for Foreign Affairs Josep Borrell and France's Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian are holding a joint press conference after EU ministers conducted an informal event known as the "Gymnich meeting".
The first such event occurred at Schloss Gymnich in Erftstadt, North Rhine-Westphalia, in 1974. Its organisation is in accordance with the rotating presidency of the Council of the European Union, which belongs to Germany this year.
