Former National Security Agency (NSA) contractor and U.S. fugitive Edward Snowden can stay in Russia until he decides to leave, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has said.
“I think that that is something he will decide himself,” Zakharova said on Thursday when Yahoo News anchor Katie Couric asked her how long Snowden’s sojourn in Russia will continue. The former NSA contractor has been living in Russia since 2013, after leaking thousands of classified intelligence documents and fleeing the U.S.
“I have never met him, I have never talked to him. I don't know. It is up to him to decide. He is just a human being. He’s a person and he has his own will to decide where he will stay,” she said.
Zakharova refused to provide additional comment on whether or not Russia would consider extraditing him to the U.S. where he would be tried, saying: “This is not my field.”

There's been no evidence from the Russian government that Snowden is alive. They might have killed him already 4 years ago and used his identity to hack American government computers.
Just sayin'
