Many people have used the Ukrainian flag and its colors to show solidarity with the country. The war has resulted in canceled spacecraft launches and broken contracts.
Three Russian cosmonauts arrived at the International Space Station on Friday wearing yellow flight suits with blue accents, colors that appeared to match the Ukrainian flag. The men were the first new arrivals on the space station since the start of the Russian war in Ukraine last month.
Video of Artemyev taken as the spacecraft prepared to dock with the space station showed him wearing a blue flight suit. It was unclear what, if any, message the yellow uniforms they changed into were intended to send. Since the war started, many people have used the Ukrainian flag and its colors to show solidarity with the country.
NASA Administrator Bill Nelson played down Rogozin's comments, telling The Associated Press:"That's just Dmitry Rogozin. He spouts off every now and then. But at the end of the day, he's worked with us."
