This was reported by the US news agency “Bloomberg”, referring to the document.
The EU and American summit will be held the day before the US and Russian presidents' meeting, Joseph Biden and Vladimir Putin, in Geneva.
“We are united in our principled approach to Russia and will firmly respond to the pattern of its repeated negative behavior and hostile actions”, the document says.
According to the U.S. agency, the EU and the United States will assist in the anti-pression summit Russia is conducting towards civil society, opposition and independent media, and will also present a position on closer economic co-operation.
In addition, the two sides could also express their common opposition to China, which is also discussed in the draft document.
European Parliament President David Susssol declared that Brussels must strengthen sanctions against Russia.
According to his assessment, relations between the EU and Russia are very tense due to the situation over opposition Alexei Navalny and the conflict in southeastern Ukraine.
