An eleventh-hour effort is being made aimed at averting a fresh crisis over Ukraine ahead of a breakaway vote in Crimea.
US Secretary of State John Kerry is travelling to London to meet his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov on Friday.
Mr Kerry has said he will present Mr Lavrov a "series of options" in a bid to resolve the dispute.
The frantic diplomatic effort comes ahead of a critical referendum in Ukraine's southern region of Crimea on whether to join Russia.
The Black Sea peninsula has been the scene of a tense stand-off between Moscow and the West, following the toppling of Kremlin ally Viktor Yanukovych as Ukrainian president.
Western powers say they will not recognise the vote as it violates international law and Ukraine's constitution.
But Russian President Vladimir Putin has defended the move arguing it is legal.
Mr Kerry has been unsuccessfully trying for more than a week to broker a meeting between Russian, Ukrainian and European diplomats to try and ease tensions.
