The US wants independent observers in the flashpoint region of Crimea and direct talks between Kiev and Moscow - while Russia is likely to call for greater representation for Ukraine's Russian-speaking areas in the Kiev government. Meanwhile there is a debate in the US over whether President Obama's foreign policy has emboldened leaders of other countries to act in a way they would not have previously considered.
