Ukraine Crisis: US And Russia In Key London Talks -- BBC
US Secretary of State John Kerry is holding talks on Ukraine with his Russian counterpart in London, in an attempt to defuse tensions two days before a disputed referendum in Crimea.
Mr Kerry is expected to tell Sergei Lavrov that the referendum and Russia's military intervention in Crimea could trigger concerted US and EU sanctions.
He earlier warned of "very serious steps" if Russia annexes the region.
