Just to clarify, it was U.S. State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki -- rather than "U.S. officials" as we had in our news short -- who said Kerry would meet with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on Sunday evening.

From our news desk. Kerry's firming up plans for meeting with Lavrov.
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry has made a last-minute change of plans to fly to France for talks on Ukraine.
U.S. officials said Saturday that Kerry would meet with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov Sunday evening in Paris to discuss the situation in Ukraine where Russia's annexation of the Crimean Peninsula has led to a situation some officials have described as the biggest security problem in Europe since the Cold War.
The meeting comes after U.S. President Barack Obama and Russian President Vladimir Putin agreed in a call on Friday to have their foreign ministers meet to discuss a possible diplomatic resolution to the Ukraine.
