Russia announced that it would launch a military operation against Ukraine towards the end of last month. After that, the eyes of the whole world turned to the war between these two countries. As this was the case, many different sectors were affected by the war, and it was seen that economic problems arose throughout the world.

Of course, another area affected by this crisis was space exploration, in which Russia also took an important place. In the past days, we have conveyed to you that the European Space Agency has suspended joint Mars missions with Russia. In addition, Russia said that ‘the International Space Station (ISS) may fall to Europe or the USA’ as a kind of threat, and these words received a great reaction. Now, again, there is news about the International Space Station. A shared image is ‘Are Russian cosmonauts next to Ukraine?’ raised the question.

Russian cosmonauts’ answer was not enough

A Russian soyuz spacecraft carrying Oleg Artemyev, Denis Matweev and Sergey Korsakov yesterday, March 18 International Space It is docked to the Prichal module of Russia, which is connected to the station. Two and a half hours later, the hatches between the two vehicles opened and the three cosmonauts entered the station and joined the seven-man crew. However, after the hatch was opened, there was something remarkable about the cosmonauts; the clothes they wear.

Footage from the station shows the three cosmonauts joining the crew wearing yellow outfits with blue accents. It was also striking that these colors resemble the flag of Ukraine, which is currently under occupation. Soyuz commander Artemyev said to a question about clothes that such a thing happened because of the excess of yellow clothes in the warehouse.

Are they supporting Ukraine?

However, as you can imagine, the number of people who did not believe it was quite large. Many people, including former NASA astronauts Scott Kelly and Terry Virts, stated that the reason behind the choice of these clothes may be that cosmonauts support Ukraine. In fact, although they have made a completely different statement, it seems quite logical that they chose such a path as they could not directly say ‘Yes, we support’ in such a climate.

Apart from that, there were some guesses about flight suits. Many users on Twitter stated that the clothes could be a reference to the colors of Bauman Moscow Technical University, where all three cosmonauts were trained. In short, it is possible to say that the clothes worn by the Russian cosmonauts led to many speculations and revealed the possibility that the cosmonauts might be supporting Ukraine.
