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", and is in response to the deepening humanitarian crisis on the frontline of the conflict.

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.

There has been a considerable escalation of violence in recent days, and John Kerry is also in Kiev to meet the country's president, Petro Poroshenko.

As he arrived, the Secretary of State announced an additional $16.4m humanitarian aid to help civilians caught up in the conflict.

Sky News travelled to some of the areas worst-hit by the ongoing fighting, with a significant number now suffering without any running water.

They include the small village of Irmina, where people are being forced to queue for water from a local well and many are struggling to survive without power.

The shelling has been getting closer, food supplies are running low and people are running out of money.

But there is no major rescue effort in the village, located in Lukansk region. Help is not getting through and people say they have seen no humanitarian aid convoys.

"We have no jobs, we have nothing, how can we live?" one man asked.
