When 3 Russian Cosmonauts Arrive At The ISS In Ukrainian Colored Uniforms

JAKARTA - Many perceptions can be obtained from the attitude of these three Russian cosmonauts upon arriving at the Space Station. But in fact, the clothes they wear are in very Ukrainian colors.

The standard Russian uniform is plain blue. And one of the three men was seen wearing the blue before taking off from a Russian-owned facility in Kazakhstan.

But what happens when they arrive at the ISS and encounter American, Russian, and German crews? All three, Denis Matveyev, Oleg Artemyev and Sergey Korsakov have changed colors.

As the two sets of hatches opened, smiling faces floated into the space station one by one wearing bright yellow spacesuits, as seen from the BBC, Saturday 19 March.

The ISS itself is a joint project between Russia, America, Canada, Japan and several European countries. The ISS is led by a two-decade US-Russian partnership despite the ups and downs of relations between the two countries.

"We have accumulated a lot of yellow material so we need to use it," joked Oleg Artemyev at a press conference.

"That's why we have to wear yellow," he continued.

Is this a form of their attitude against Vladimir Putin? Nobody knows.
