Ukraine's Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk will soon meet with US President Barack Obama at the White House.

Yatsenyuk has already met with US Secretary of State John Kerry, who plans to travel to London on Friday to speak with Sergey Lavrov, Russia's foreign minister.

These meetings are taking place ahead of the Crimea referendum, which will take place on Sunday and determine whether Crimea remains part of Ukraine or becomes part of Russia.
