Copy-and-pasted from https://www.dw.com/en/ukraine-uk-warns-against-post-war-reset-with-putin-live-updates/a-61182407 - 2022-03019 Russian cosmonauts wear Ukraine colors Three Russian cosmonauts emerged at the International Space Station last night with inflight suits in the yellow and blue of the Ukrainian flag. Normally cosmonauts wear standard-issue blue uniforms. Some have interpreted this to mean that the three cosmonauts — Oleg Artemyev, Denis Matveev and Sergey Korsakov — were be making a daring statement against the war. The Kremlin has launched a brutal crackdown on anti-war messages. When asked about the suits, cosmonaut Oleg Artemyev said "we had accumulated a lot of yellow material so we needed to use it." The three blasted off from Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan for a six-month stay aboard the orbiting laboratory yesterday. They are joining the crew in place at the International Space Station of two Russians, four Americans and one German.
