He's admitted to it in interviews that he did while in Hong Kong. Several articles have come out in recent days with the exact quote, but yeah, it sounds like he infiltrated the NSA with the explicit purpose to steal and release classified information.
Also, I don't think China or Russia would ever admit to receiving any classified information from Snowden as it will cause them to lose the upper hand in terms of intelligence gathering. It would be in their best interests to stay quiet about the whole issue and just keep us guessing as to what they do or don't know.
But as I said earlier, they are making a lot of special accommodations for this guy in the face of potentially damaging relations with the U.S. that leads me to believe that they are getting something out of this.
