On Monday, The Wall Street Journal reported that Snowden Sr. and Fane submitted documents to receive a Russian visa. The invitation to this day was sent to him on the same day by the lawyer of the fugitive, a member of the Public Chamber Anatoly Kucheren.
On August 1, Snowden received a shelter in Russia for a period of one year and left the transit zone of Sheremetyevo Airport, in which he was 39 days. The location of the American is not disclosed for security reasons. On August 6, Kucheren said that Snowden registered in Russia and registered with the FMS.
On Wednesday, US President Barack Obama canceled a meeting with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin. The meeting was supposed to hold in early September in Moscow, during the visit of Obama to Russia for the Great Twenth summit. In the summit itself, which will take place in St. Petersburg, Obama will take part, but there will be no bilateral negotiations with Putin and will not be held there. Among the reasons for such a decision of Obama was the situation with Snowden.
