Putin claims Russia is a champion of human rights, citing Snowden asylum. #shorts

Russian President Vladimir Putin has commented on the asylum of Edward Snowden, saying that Russia is not a country that betrays human rights activists, unlike the United States.

Snowden is a former NSA contractor who leaked classified documents about the US government's mass surveillance programs in 2013. He was granted asylum in Russia in 2013 and has remained there ever since.
