MOSCOW — President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia called on Friday for an end to the use of punitive financial and economic sanctions around the world, saying they should be “excluded from the international economic vocabulary.”

Mr. Putin, whose country has been battered by sanctions over its policies in Ukraine, called for the swift lifting of all such measures against Iran once a deal is reached to regulate Iran’s nuclear program.

He spoke to reporters at a gathering of heads of state in Ufa, Russia, for meetings of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization and the so-called BRICS group — Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa — of rising economic powers.

By mentioning Iran in his remarks, Mr. Putin sought to place his criticism of sanctions in a broader global context. But it was impossible not to hear his remarks as a pointed complaint about Russia’s own economic travails.
