Newly arrived cosmonauts at the International Space Station removed their flight suits upon docking and changed into their chosen ISS crew uniforms. Yellow and blue, the colors of the Ukrainian flag. They didn't come right out and say anything about the war, but...

Actions speak louder than words?

yes, the "blue stripes" are actually Russian Flag patches and insignia/logo but the overall effect to the general public, sort of a subliminal message perhaps, seems to point to Ukrainian colors. 🇺🇦

The cosmonauts' public comment was something along the lines of "we had a lot of yellow material to use up."

I don't know, that seems kind of lame.

I'm sure Russia was well aware of what they were bringing...

perhaps, but there seems to be a lot of things that Russian officials are not aware of. Security may not be as tight as they would like or what we imagine it to be.

By the way I am saddened by the crash of the Chinese jet and horrible loss of life. My heart and prayers go out to China today. 🇨🇳 🙏
