Russia Says It Doesn’t Know Of Any Plan By Edward Snowden To Seek Russian Citizenship
Posted in: Today's ChiliNOVOGORSK, Russia, July 19 (Reuters) – The Kremlin is unaware of any plans by fugitive former U.S. spy agency contractor Edward Snowden to seek Russian citizenship, President Vladimir Putin’s spokesman said on Friday.
Snowden, who is wanted in the United States on espionage charges, is holed up at a Moscow airport. A Russian lawyer who helped him file an application for temporary asylum in Russia this week said Snowden had not ruled out seeking citizenship.
