Well done

Fake news, unfortunately, I think.
They chose the colours long before the war in Ukraine started. I think one of them even said (words to the effect) "Sometimes yellow is just yellow", and that at present people will speed the Ukrainian flag in things where it really isn't.
Don't get me wrong, I'd think it would be great if they really were protesting, but I genuinely don't think they were and it is just serendipity.
Happy to be wrong about any intention they might have, though. :)

Could be

Some might have suspected invasion was likely and possible invasion tipped colour choice to yellow in early support of Ukraine

Serendipity, early support or blue trim added after the brown stuff hit whirling blades in not going to deep think to much

Just accept

:)

bright colours help dispel depression
so it has a psychological component
also high vis colour easy to spot if they float out of an air lock or have to free dive back to earth.

if usa detaches russian pod
russians will have more issues than usa now elon has people lifting
& its probably hard currency earner
 
Per astronaut Chris Hadfield↱:

We personally choose our flightsuit colours months in advance, so they can be made and packed in time for launch. Thus I suspect the blue and yellow wasn’t intended as a political statement, but I like that it is.​

I originally thought along those lines. considering the time to make and test the suits

But as I mentioned (think I did) the astronautics might have been a bit ahead and picked the colours when troops started to gather to show early support for Ukraine

Even if it was merely serendipity I'm also happy it occurred

Russia has bombed civilians sheltering in an art school
& bombed civilians sheltering in a theater

both buildings had women and children sheltering in them.

these are clearly war crimes

the buildings have no military or government value and were being used as bomb shelters by civilians
