Supplying weapons to Ukraine would escalate the conflict, British Defence Secretary Michael Fallon has said.
Mr Fallon made the warning as the leaders of Germany and France arrived in Moscow for talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Television footage showed Angela Merkel emerging from a plane and entering a car waiting in the runway, shortly before Francois Hollande flew in.
The trip by duo follows five hours of late-night talks with Ukrainian leader Petro Poroshenko in Kiev on Thursday.
Their attempts to halt the crisis follows fierce fighting and territorial gains in eastern Ukraine by Russian-backed separatists.
The fighting comes despite a peace blueprint was agreed in Belarus in September.
Mr Fallon backed the Franco-German effort but said that territory gained by separatists since the Minsk agreement should not be recognised in a new ceasefire.
In a an interview during the Munich Security Conference, the minister also voiced concern that Russian military planners may have "lowered the threshold" for the use of nuclear weapons.
He said Britain must update its own nuclear deterrent in response to Russian modernisation of its nuclear forces.
