One day after trading a series of contentious remarks and veiled threats, the U.S. and Russia are preparing to come together in talks over the ongoing crisis in Ukraine with Secretary of State John Kerry now scheduled to meet with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov in Paris on Wednesday.

In a separate meeting in Brussels, a Russian delegation will also meet with its NATO counterparts as European nations try to find a way to tamp down the tensions with Russia’s President Vladimir Putin over the overthrow of the government in Kiev and the military intervention in Crimea.

Plans for direct talks between the new government in Ukraine and Russia, according to reports, are for now on hold.

Meanwhile, the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) has responded to a request from Kiev by sending “35 unarmed military personnel” who are reportedly on their way to capitol city to act as observers amid the ongoing crisis and oversee aspects of the transitional government. Observers from both the US and UK are included in that delegation.

The announcement of these diplomatic developments overnight and early Wednesday have seemed to calmed the nerves of many around the world as the threat of immediate escalation, especially of a military nature, has dissipated.
