Russians’ yellow & blue suits were not political statement: US astronaut – Times of India

MOSCOW: Three Russian astronauts were not making a political statement when they boarded the ISS inMarch wearing yellow flight suits with blue highlights, the colours of the Ukrainian flag, according to a Nasa astronaut who was on the station at the time.
“I think the folks that wore them had no idea that people would perceive that as having anything to do with Ukraine,” said the Nasa astronaut, Mark Vande Hei, who returned to Earth last week. “I think they were kind of blindsided by it. ” Hei said the colours were those of Bauman Moscow State Technical University, which all three had attended.
