ukriane russia war: Three Russian cosmonauts dressed in the colors of the Ukrainian flag arrived at the International Space Station (ISS) amid the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine. According to the BBC report, the three were the first Russian cosmonauts to reach space since Russia attacked its eastern neighbor last month. The trio were welcomed and embraced by teams from the US, Russia and Germany at the space station. It is noteworthy that the ISS is a joint project between Russia, the US, Canada, Japan and several European countries.
Russian cosmonauts Denis Matveyev, Oleg Artemyev and Sergei Korsakov landed on the ISS after traveling three hours from the Russian-owned space station in Kazakhstan. As their flight arrived at the ISS, two sets of hatches opened and the trio, each wearing bright yellow spacesuits in blue, began to float to the space station, the BBC reported. It is noteworthy that the uniform of Russia is white-blue.
As Artemyev said, however, it was our turn to choose the color. We had accumulated a lot of yellow stuff, so we needed to use it up. So we had to wear yellow.
