Russian President Vladimir Putin said Russia would not "go cap in hand around the world, begging for handouts," unlike some other countries, according to TASS.
Putin stressed that such behavior would be humiliating, first and foremost, TASS reported, though the agency's account did not specify the setting in which the remarks were made or name the countries he was contrasting Russia with.
The comments fit a broader pattern of statements from Russian officials emphasizing the country's economic self-reliance amid ongoing Western sanctions imposed since 2022.
TASS did not report any additional context on specific economic policies or figures accompanying the remarks.
Putin has repeatedly framed Russia's economic resilience as a point of national pride in public statements throughout the period of heightened tension with Western governments.
