Ecuador’s Foreign Minister Ricardo Patino announced via twitter that Snowden had applied for asylum.
Interfax news agency is citing an unnamed source in Sheremetyevo airport management, saying that Snowden is still at the airport.

"Snowden is a transit passenger, his next flight is to Cuba, he remains in the airport complex – where he’s supposed to be, waiting for the next flight," the source said.

A source at Aeroflot Russian Airlines told the agency that the whistleblower, who is accompanied by WikiLeaks representative, Sarah Harrison, has rented a suit at the airport’s «V-Express» Capsule Hotel.

“He arrived. But he can’t leave the terminal because he doesn’t have a Russian visa,” the source said.

Two cars with diplomatic license plates of Ecuador – the country named among Snowden’s possible destinations – were spotted at Sheremetyevo airport. 
Ecuador’s ambassador to Russia, Patricio Chavez, arrived at Sheremetyevo Airport after Edward Snowden's plane touched down in Moscow.

WikiLeaks founder, Julian Assange, told Australian Sydney Morning Herald paper that Snowden will be met by “diplomats from the country that will be his ultimate destination” in the airport, who’ll accompany him on a further flight to his final destination.

Aeroflotflighten från Hongkong landade på Moskvaflygplatsen Sjeremetjevo klockan 15.05, svensk tid.
Inne i ankomsthallen på terminal F väntade ett stort antal journalister men någon Edward Snowden dök aldrig upp. 

Enligt uppgifter från medpassagerare till ryska medier möttes han redan vid flygplanstrappan av en diplomatmärkt bil, möjligen från Ecuadors ambassad i Moskva.

Nyhetsbyrån Ria novosti citerar en ecuadoriansk nyhetssajt som uppger att landets ambassadör ska ha ett möte med Snowden på flygplatsen.
     
En anonym källa på flygplatsen säger till nyhetsbyrån Interfax att Edward Snowden hyrt ett rum på ett transithotell inne på flygplatsen, han uppges sakna visum till Ryssland.
    
Ryska medier hänvisar också till källor inom Aeroflot som säger att amerikanen har en biljett till Kubas huvudstad Havanna i morgon vid lunchtid, svensk tid och att hans slutliga mål är Venezuela.
       
Från officiellt ryskt håll har kommentarerna varit få i dag. President Vladimir Putins pressekreterare säger till ryska medier att man inte har någon information om Edward Snowdens planer. Tidigare har Rysslands utrikesminister Sergej Lavrov sagt att man från rysk sida kan tänka sig att ge Snowden politisk asyl.

**************** 'Russia safe for Snowden for now as it will not be pressured'

 ************

---RT 2013-06-23---
Russia is “a very safe place” for the NSA leaker Edward Snowden as it will not be pressured by the US, former MI5 agent Annie Machon told RT as the whistleblower arrived in Moscow reportedly en route to a third country. Snowden – who is wanted in the US for revealing two highly-classified surveillance programs – left Hong Kong and landed in the Russian capital on Sunday afternoon.

It is unclear, where the 29-year-old source behind the biggest leak in the NSA history will head next, but reports suggest he might go to Venezuela via Cuba. Annie Machon says whatever country Snowden ends up in, it must be “strong enough to push back because there will be immense pressure from the US to hand him over.”

Putin: - Snowden kommer inte att utlämnas. Han är fortfarande på Moskvas flygplats.

- Snowden är fri att resa vart han vill...

Former NSA contractor Snowden remains in the transit zone of a Moscow airport. President Putin said that Snowden never crossed the Russian border and doesn’t fall under any extradition treaty. He called accusations against Russia “nonsense and rubbish.”

“It is true that Snowden has arrived to Moscow, and it really came as a surprise for us. He arrived as a transit passenger, and didn't need a [Russian] visa, or any other documents. As a transit passenger he is entitled to buy a ticket and fly to wherever he wants,” Vladimir Putin said as he spoke to journalists in Finland.

Edward Snowden is still at the transit area of Moscow’s Sheremetyevo Airport, Putin stressed. He said that any accusations against Russia are “nonsense and rubbish,” as the former NSA contractor “has not crossed” the Russian border.
The President also pointed out that there is no extradition treaty between Russia and the US, which makes it impossible to extradite people like Snowden.
