Previously, on Tuesday, Snowden affirmed in an interview published in the US: “For me, in terms of personal satisfaction, the mission’s already accomplished,(…) I already won.(,,,) I didn’t want to change society. I wanted to determine if it should change itself.” Probably the most shocking and controversial Snowden’s affirmation was: “I am still working for the NSA right now. They are the only ones who don’t realize it.”
At the same time, at the annual press conference in Moscow, even though he approved Snowden’s asylum, Russian President Vladimir Putin stated that the NSA surveillance is necessary to combat terrorism.
