Russia denies ISS cosmonauts are supporting Ukraine

Russian cosmonauts arrived at the International space station wearing yellow and blue spacesuits – the colours of the Ukrainian flag.

It’s the video showing the power of the media out of this world, on board the International Space Station.

Despite concerns that Russian and American cosmonauts and astronauts might face tensions over the invasion, three Russian cosmonauts have arrived at the space station wearing yellow flight suits with blue accents – the colours matching the Ukrainian flag.

Russia’s space agency has rejected claims that three Russian cosmonauts boarded the International Space Station wearing Ukrainian colours.

Many saw it as a possible statement of support for Ukraine.

Yellow is just yellow

“Sometimes yellow is just yellow,” said the Roscosmos space agency.

The ISS is a joint project between Russia, America, Canada, Japan and several European countries.

Russian cosmonauts Denis Matveyev, Oleg Artemyev and Sergey Korsakov docked at the ISS after a three-hour flight which blasted off from a Russian-owned facility in Kazakhstan.
