The United States and its European allies are in talks about harsher sanctions against Russia. U.S. President Barack Obama will evaluate the next steps in dealing with the conflict in eastern Ukraine in the coming days, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said Saturday.

The statement came after Kerry had finished a meeting with his British counterpart, Philip Hammond, in London.

According to Reuters, he said among options being considered by Obama was whether to arm Ukrainian forces and to impose deeper sanctions against the Kremlin for breaches of a February 12 European-brokered truce.

- In the next few days I anticipate that President Obama will evaluate the choices that are in front of him and will make his decision as to what the next step will be, Kerry told reporters at a press conference after the meeting with Hammond.
