The UK and France are expected to push for strong condemnation of Russia and Syria as EU foreign ministers meet to discuss the war in Syria.
The US and UK warned of new sanctions in response to continued air strikes on Aleppo following talks on Sunday.
An Aleppo resident told the BBC the city had endured heavy bombing in the past 24 hours, with "bunker-buster" munitions shaking the ground.
And Turkey said it had largely regained security on a key stretch of border.
The Turkish military said Turkish-backed rebels had seized control of nine areas from the Islamic State group, including the symbolically important town of Dabiq, on Sunday, Reuters reports.
The US Secretary of State John Kerry said "crimes against humanity" were taking place daily in Aleppo, after meeting with his British counterpart Boris Johnson in London on Sunday.
Mr Johnson said that additional sanctions on the Syrian regime and its supporters were under consideration, as measures designed to "keep the pressure up".
