Did Russian cosmonauts wear the colours of the Ukrainian flag during arrival at the International Space Station? Well, many people would say yes, but not the astronauts, who donned them. &nbsp;

In a rebuttal, Russian cosmonauts denied the idea on Saturday. &nbsp;

The three cosmonauts of Russia&nbsp;had adorned suits, which were yellow in colour and had blue accents. &nbsp;

Around six months before launch, each crew picks the colour of the flight suits as they need to be sewn individually, said Cosmonaut Oleg Artemyev. &nbsp;

And as all of them were graduates of Bauman Moscow State Technical University, the cosmonauts picked the colours of their alma mater. &nbsp;

In a statement on the Russian space agency's Telegram channel, “There is no need to look for any hidden signs or symbols in our uniform. A colour is simply a colour. It is not in any way connected to Ukraine. Otherwise, we would have to recognise its rights to the yellow sun in the blue sky,” Artemyev said. &nbsp;&nbsp;

"These days, even though we are in space, we are together with our president and our people!" Artemyev said. &nbsp;

In a tweet, Dmitry Rogozin, head, space agency Roscosmos, reiterated point made by Artemyev by posting a picture of the blue and gold coat of arms of the university. &nbsp;&nbsp;

Several people have been donning the Ukrainian flag and its colours to show solidarity with the war-torn country. &nbsp;&nbsp;
