The US has given $16.4m (£10.7m) in aid to Ukraine, as the nation's humanitarian crisis deepens on the frontline of the conflict.
John Kerry, the US Secretary of State, has visited Kiev and condemned "Russia's continued aggression in the east".
During a joint news conference with Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko, Mr Kerry warned the US would not "close our eyes" to Russian tanks and fighters crossing the border.
No mention was made of the possibility that the US will offer military aid to Ukraine, which Russia has warned could pose a danger to its national security and "cause colossal damage" to relations between the two countries.
Meanwhile, Britain has confirmed it will make thousands of troops available in the Baltic at short notice should a new crisis arise. The move is designed to reassure allies who fear they could become targets of Russia's aggression.
Angela Merkel and Francois Hollande are travelling to Kiev and Moscow with a new peace initiative, amid a flurry of diplomacy to end what has been described as "a war on Europe's edge".
The German Chancellor and French President's proposal is "based on the territorial integrity of Ukraine".
A spokesman for the Russian Foreign Ministry said Vladimir Putin was ready to hold constructive talks with the European leaders, and that Russia "will do everything it can" to help resolve the crisis in Ukraine.
However, he claimed the Ukrainian government was using weapons in the conflict zone which had effects similar to those of weapons of mass destruction.
More than 5,000 people have been killed in the Ukrainian conflict since last April.
