The Kremlin granted citizenship to Edward Snowden, the former National Security Agency contractor who disclosed a top-secret spying program and has been living in Russia since fleeing the US nine years ago.
The US said that may mean Snowden could be conscripted. “The only thing that has changed is that as a result of his Russian citizenship, apparently now, he may well be conscripted to fight,” State Department spokesman Ned Price said.
