This week, our Beyond the Byline podcast focuses on the informal summit of EU leaders this Thursday in Versailles. What can we expect from the meeting, and what options are the EU considering for the bloc’s defence? I spoke with EURACTIV’s Global Europe reporter Alexandra Brzozowski to hear more on this.

We are also talking about how some Russian embassies retaliated to Greece and Bulgaria after they followed EU sanctions. To learn more about the reactions, I was joined by Krassen Nikolov from EURACTIV Bulgaria.
