US Secretary of State John Kerry and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov are due to hold crucial talks to try to ease tensions over the Ukraine crisis.
美国国务卿约翰·克里与俄罗斯外交部长谢尔盖·拉夫罗夫将举行一场重要会谈,以试图缓解乌克兰危机的局势。
The US accuses Moscow of deploying1 troops in Ukraine's Crimea region, describing it as an "act of aggression2" - a claim denied by the Kremlin.
Despite the sharp differences, both sides have hinted they would prefer to start a dialogue.
The tense stand-off continued overnight in Crimea, but there were no reports of any violence.
Earlier this week tensions escalated5 further over Russia's warnings that it could also move into eastern Ukraine to protect Russians and Russian-speakers there.
The move has triggered wide condemnation6 across the globe.
In other developments:
Nato and Russia will hold talks in Brussels. Nato chief Anders Fogh Rasmussen earlier said Russia continued to "violate Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity"
EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton will travel to Kiev for talks with the new government
Russia said it successfully tested an intercontinental ballistic missile on Tuesday
