NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg said Monday that Western powers should reconsider restrictions on Ukraine using weaponry they supply to strike inside Russia as it is hampering Kyiv's ability to defend itself.

"It ties one hand of the Ukrainians on their back and makes it very hard for them to conduct defence," Stoltenberg told NATO lawmakers at a meeting in Bulgaria.
