The facts absolutely do not support either interpretation. The only reason Snowden is in Russia is that the US canceled his passport.

They revoked his passport because he's a fugitive, formally charged with two counts of violating the Espionage Act. I think the reason he's Russia is that they don't have an extradition treaty with the United States.

he was stuck in the moscow airport (for over a month) after his passport was cancelled en route to equador and was eventually granted asylum
