If Snowden was such a hero, why did he take Russian citizenship

What choice did he have? Do you think he'd receive a fair trial if he came back to the US?

and not oppose the invasion of Ukraine?

Did he actively support it? I hadn't heard that. Major bummer, if so.

Otherwise, he didn't oppose it for the same reason very few other Russians opposed it. I'm sure the reason will occur to you if you think hard enough.
