“It’s our turn to choose a color. But we actually had accumulated a lot of yellow material, so we had to use it. That’s why we had to wear yellow.”

President Putin’s latest move has spilled over into space suits.

“Russian cosmonauts in the colors of the Ukrainian flag. This is another trick of Russian propaganda. They really need the world media to believe that only Putin needs war, so they continue to bombard civilians while making up fairy tales.”
