Carrot: It seems an offer of an international monitoring mission to Crimea has been tabled. Either from the UN or the Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe. As Russia is an active member of both organizations, Putin would have some measure of control of the missions.
Stick: A stepped economic and diplomatic freeze-out of Russia. Russian stocks and the Ruble have certainly got Moscow's attention and that would just be a taste. The oligarchs that underpin Putin's regime may be whispering in his ear.

SEVASTOPOL, Ukraine (AP) — Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered tens of thousands of Russian troops participating in military exercises near Ukraine's border to return to their bases as U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry was on his way to Kiev. Tensions remained high in the strategic Ukrainian peninsula of Crimea with troops loyal to Moscow firing warning shots to ward off protesting Ukrainian soldiers.
The massive military exercise in western Russia involving 150,000 troops, hundreds of tanks and dozens of aircraft was supposed to wrap up anyway, so it was not clear if Putin's move was an attempt to heed the West's call to de-escalate the crisis that has put Ukraine's future on the line.

This. In this digital age, money moves a whole lost faster than the tanks. Putin was looking at major capital flight if he did not tone down the rhetoric.
