European Union chief Ursula von der Leyen said that the bloc's 10th round of sanctions against Russia will target the Russian trade and technology fueling the war in Ukraine.
"Our nine packages of sanctions are biting, and a 10th one is on its way," von der Leyen said in a tweet as an EU-Ukraine summit wrapped in the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv on Friday.
The European Commission president stressed that the 10th sanctions package will "hit the trade and technology that supports Russia’s war machine."
Speaking during a press conference in Kyiv earlier on Friday, von der Leyen said the bloc aims to publish the package — which will have a volume of $10.8 billion (or about 10 billion euros) — by Feb. 24, the one-year anniversary of the Russian invasion.
At the same press conference, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky asked the EU to use sanctions to prevent Russia from rebuilding its military capacity.
