Ecuador has several national airlines, in particular TAME. They could charter a flight with them if they actually wanted to.

Which they don't.

They could also ask a diplomat to escort him.

A charter flight from Russia to Ecuador costs hundreds of thousands of dollars and approaches the distance limits of private jets. I doubt they even do this for themselves.
Huge difference between allowing someone entry to your country and the government paying to fly a jetliner across the world for one person.
