Wasn’t he departing from Hong Kong to Ecuador and was stuck in Russia because his passport was revoked in transit?

I thought that’s what I remembered hearing. I think all of his meetings with reporters were in Hong Kong.

Yes so his default option was to return to the US and face arrest so he applied for asylum (as a US citizen still)
