Russian President Vladimir Putin has granted former NSA contractor Edward Snowden Russian citizenship, according to an official decree published on the Russian government portal Monday.
The 39-year-old has been living in exile in Moscow after initially traveling to Hong Kong following his 2013 public disclosure of the classified information. He is facing up to 30 years in prison in the US.
He’s not in their military reserves, so I would imagine not."Does Snowden now become liable to RU military mobilization?"

Interesting to note I suppose, given all that Putin's got his hands full with.
I suppose it begs the question:
"Does Snowden now become liable to RU military mobilization?"
Imagine the irony? Or perhaps, would that be getting one's 'just deserts'?
(KTLA Channel 5)"The move comes as Moscow is mobilizing reservists for what the Kremlin calls a “special military operation” in Ukraine. In Russia, almost every man is considered a reservist until age 65, and officials on Monday stressed that men with dual citizenship are also eligible for the military call-up."

Imagine if he ends up getting closer to sensitive matters and leaks damaging things re: Russian government.
??
Those laptops & HDD's Snowden had were scanned by RU upon his entry! I guarantee it!
Turns on Putin?I mean if he turns on them eventually. This would be ironic.
Turns on Putin?
Presumably Putin believes he has more uses for Snowden than what he has already gotten. It'd be rather ironic if somehow, Snowden manages to screw over Putin, too.
Sure, it would also be ironic if Snowden now has to go die in Ukraine.
Bingo! That's what it's about. It's similar to the Trumper's sticking it to the liberals.That'll show those Americans.
There's irony all around!
But if Snowden tries to turn on Putin, his life will be in grave danger. If he even has internet access, Snowden is probably among the most monitored men in RU.

Tall Building Syndrome.There's irony all around!

This is a progression. Snowden helped Putin put Trump in the WH. Now, he gets Russian citizenship to shield him from extradition.Vladimir Putin grants former NSA contractor Edward Snowden Russian citizenship | CNN

Would love to see that so Trump can show his true colors.Do you think he will do the same for Trump when Donnie is looking for a place to run after the indictments begin?
He's too old for the draft. I don't believe his dual citizenship would be relevant unless US forces became directly involved in the war, though they obviously wouldn't send a high profile political asylee into combat against US-allied forces anyway.At this time, yes - I agree.
I'm still wondering if he'd be liable in a general mobilization? No idea how dual citizenship would affect that, but then Putin does with his charges whatever he want.
I'm sure that's what the government told you.. . . one of the most non-free speech & propagandized places on earth!
If only he had multiple online presences, some of which had been updated within the last few hours . . .If he even has internet access, Snowden . . .
Too old? Where have you been? Russia is drafting men up to 65 with the right skills and Snowden has some skills they can use.He's too old for the draft.

Hell no! It truly does appear to be a ****hole country at this point run by the mafia.Is anyone envious they can't get Russian citizenship?
