The fourth photo captioned "Russian cosmonaut Oleg Artemyev with toys used as indicator of weightlessness by ISS crews."

Unless the russians hacked the archive or time traveled, it shows that the yellow suit has been used since at least 2014.

In 2021 they were using the blue suit. In 2022, they switched back to the blue/yellow suit. It's just a coincidence that those colors happen to align with the Ukrainian colors, and therefore not newsworthy /s.

They were different teams of russians. Each team gets to choose their own colors.

The one in 2014 ( "Oleg Artemyev" ) and the one in 2022 ( "Oleg Artemyev" ) are the same person/team? Maybe yellow is mr artemyev's favorite color. But whatever.

The colors don't "align with the Ukrainian colors". The suits are predominantly yellow with navy blue and a substantial part of the blue is from the Russian flag on their chests.

The Ukrainian flag is yellow and light blue, not yellow and navy blue. I don't know why everyone's saying it's the same colors.
