The European Union's next package of sanctions against Russia will hit the trade and technology that supports its war against Ukraine, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said on Friday.

"Our nine packages of sanctions are biting, and a 10th one is on its way. With our partners, we must deny Russia the means to kill Ukrainian civilians and destroy homes and offices," von der Leyen said in a tweet.

"New measures will hit the trade and technology that supports Russia’s war machine."
