Three Russian cosmonauts wear Ukrainian colours during space mission

Are Russian cosmonauts defying Putin from SPACE? Three spacemen wear colours of the UKRAINIAN flag as they arrive on ISS space station (but they claim it’s just because they had some extra yellow cloth!)

  • The three cosmonauts flew to the International Space Station from Kazakhstan 
  • Commander Oleg Artemyev said they had lots of yellow cloth  in the warehouse
  • The trio were the first people to arrive at the space station since the war 

Three cosmonauts arrived at the International Space Station wearing flight suits in the national colours Ukraine. 

The three spacemen flew to the international space station on board the Soyuz MS21 space craft from Kazakhstan.   

The men were the first new arrivals on the space station since the start of the Russian war in Ukraine last month.

Video of one of the cosmonauts taken as the capsule prepared to dock with the space station showed him wearing a blue flight suit. It was unclear what, if any, message the yellow uniforms they changed into were intended to send.

Three Russian cosmonauts arrived at the International Space Station wearing yellow and blue flight suits which some people have claimed resemble the Ukrainian national colours 

The spacemen arrived at the space station following a three-hour flight from Kazakhstan

The mission commander, Oleg Artemyev was asked about the colours. He said they had accumulated a great deal of yellow material in the warehouse so they had to make use of it

Artemyev said each crew gets to choose the colour of their flight suits so they chose yellow

Oleg Artemyev was asked about the yellow flight suits when the newly arrived cosmonauts were able to talk to family back on Earth.

He said every crew chooses its own flight suits, so that they are not all the same.

‘It became our turn to pick a color. But in fact, we had accumulated a lot of yellow material so we needed to use it. So that’s why we had to wear yellow,’ he said.

Artemyev, Denis Matveyev and Sergey Korsakov blasted off successfully from the Russia-leased Baikonur launch facility in Kazakhstan in their Soyuz MS-21 spacecraft at 8:55pm on Friday. They smoothly docked at the station just over three hours later, joining two Russians, four Americans and a German on the orbiting outpost.
