Three Russian cosmonauts have arrived at the International Space Station.
It is the first space crew to launch since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
And as Al Jazeera’s @Katia Lopez-Hodoyan reports, it is raising questions about how political tensions will affect international space exploration.

Shoot them down
Unconditional gratitude for entire Russia and Moscow
Unconditional gratitude for NASA
Fake news ⚠️. They say the space station is flying around the earth at 15 thousand miles per hour. Show me a video of them boarding that fake space station at that speed 🤫
15k mph according to Galileo reference or the earth? Speed is relative.
Unconditional gratitude for entire ISHRO
So somewhere Russia could also impose sanctions on the west ,
Western start kneeling
Congrats to all involved from ground to major Tom!
Amazin job an let’s get the return crew back home safe an sound too
Thanks for sharing guys
Paul 10.29 gmt Uk cheers
more stingers and javelins for ukraine.
There is no name, race, nation, debate, saletalk, politics, bussiness, battle, etc. in objective working.
The ISS to me embodies the spirit of cooperation between nations. No one is anyone’s enemy up there – if only we tried more to be like that down here!
“You are at the dawning of a new era of human unity and cooperation, or a new era of human self-destruction. The outcome will be determined upon the battleground—the battleground upon which you stand today.” (The Battleground, Marshall V Summers)
Yet US sanctioned almost every major roscosmos project and entities. Murican hypocrisy.
@The Pacifist Ru wont let nasa use any of their rockets too bimbo.
Thank you B
why Kashmir files movie become a blockbuster,
Indians thrive on Islamophobia. 🙋🏾♂️
Cause it’s a propoganda movie and banned by censor board of newzealand
I pray for Ukraine🇺🇦.
But make no mistake, the *biggest threat* to world peace is the *genocide expansionist China 🇨🇳!,* not Russia.
Enough is enough!!!!. Can you people grow up and act like responsible adults?. This is space!!!. Nothing to do with what’s on the ground. All Russians are not pro-war and all Ukrainians are not sweet innocent people. Let Intel do their job and do yours in Space. This is ridiculous at this point.
Thank you for such unbiased wisdom in this corner of the internet.
Russia team should be blocked to enter the ISS
Can someone replace the Russian sections off the ISS? If so, jettison it.
@Mr H No no no, and no again.
@Mr H nope rusian part from that ISS are control to fly ISS if they sparate it it’s Will be crash
Let’s jettison Mike Hunt.
Drop it on the Kremlin.
ISS will only last until 2030 anyway. By then Russia will be back in the Stone Age, unless they become smarter than Putler.
Humans want to conquer space and conquer each other. Which will they prioritise?
Not all humans, just the ones who want to control others, and the ones who think they are God. The word government defines as govern=to control or over see/ ment=the mind. So the very word government literally means to control the mind.
@Talia Rose Humans create gods. Gods are ficticious. So is Santa Clause. There are no gods. There is only nature.
Nature created chickens to cluck and eat seed. Nature created dogs to bark and eat meat.
Nature created humans with a big brain, hands and voice. This gave humans the ability to think differently than other life forms and to be creative.
Nature also created humans to war.
No other life form goes to war. They may have fights and skirmishes which are resolved very quickly but they do not go to war.
So, my above statement simply asks, which of the human instints, that nature gave to humans, will be stronger?
I suspect the urge of war is the stronger instinct.
Getting out of Russia while they can.
More like getting out of earth 😂
Live from CNN: Russia invades space and threaten to use chemical weapons.
😂😂😂😂
😂😂
Live from Fox News: Russia re-supplies the ISS with Jewish space lasers
@Chris Elliston wannabe 😂
So they put more people in space and then want to crash it? Oxymoron
No wonder aliens want nothing to do with us.We’re too stupid.
This is hate speech
Very advanced, just to even know how to do that🤯
This is why CHina has its own space station
A few modules slapped together modules doing nothing, sure.
space is beyond us and russia so no politics up there
Hmm, no mention of the colours they wore
@Against Viral Information Please see how they entered, before launch, and how they got out in the ISS (second youtube link in the comments above). And what they say when directly asked about it is that each cosmonaut chooses what to wear and that they had a lot of yellow material so they “needed to use it”. That’s what I find brilliant, as the British say
@Genc Shehu correct but again this doesn’t mean they are supporting Ukraine not only have they not mentioned it but they picked these colors from an inventory available to them months ago or prior to the war. These clothes have existed before it’s why they didn’t mention it as there is no evidence to directly state they are supporting Ukraine.
@Genc Shehu plus there is literally a huge Russian flag on the Suit.
@Against Viral Information Haha, that’s good. That’s even better
All three cosmonauts attended the same university (Bauman Moscow State Technical University). Those two colors are used in its emblems.
You cannot on one hand tell us how “Strong” your gravity is, and on the other hand tell us all about space stations or ‘sattillites’ You do NOT get both sides of that coin. we know satillites are fake. just like ace stations are fake. nobody with a functional brain believes you m boys
check them for possibility of possesion of lethal arms. 😅
Neither country can run the space station alone anymore. And weren’t those cosmonauts wearing Ukrainian colors?
@No1 From behind I’m sure it’s just a coincidence. Extra fabric like they said. Sounds totally plausible they chose the color just because they had fabric lying around in a warehouse.
They are wearing their school colors. All three attended Bauman Moscow State Technical University.
@Johnny Rep Sure makes a good case for plausible deniability.
@Andrew C I imagine a tense video call with some gov official with their families in the background. “so its a coincidence?” “YES YES defiantly”
@Andrew C Even if they made those suits months ago, I bet they still could change the colors after “the special operation” with 10 millon refugees started.
These guys at the ISS knows Putin wont be there when they return.
It’s the Russian Suicide Squad. They’re going to ride the thing down. They’ve always wanted to do it. Once they realize they wouldn’t have complete domination of the world and space. Then they started messing with the elections. And now they control Dominion
This is so wise for China to build our own space station, GPS system and many other Chinese substitutes 🇨🇳
well, yes. A space program is a great investment for any financially and technologically capable nation.
Chinese substitutes are junk
@MO But I loved Chinese Junks, I don’t have any American Junks
As an American I think it would be cool if we all worked together despite differences. Earth, space.. together. Sounds good.
If really necessary we could stabilize the ISS short term (a couple years) witht the maneuvering system of crew dragon if I understand it correctly. At least until replacement units are built and send up there.
new replacement are to expensive, iss life just been extended for another 10 years, its either bring it back to earth or continue cooperation until western countries can create new space station
@jade villaceran or push it further up to serve as a museum for future generations of a more advanced humanity.
elon musk will handle it if it comes to that.
Sorry. I just can’t agree with this, even in the neutrality of space. Russia has lost all credibility and what they are doing in Ukraine is inexecusable. They are no longer “our Russian friends”. They are killing babies for heaven’s sake. How can we continue to collaborate?
It is high time for US to SHUT UP
Is that uniform Ukraine 🇺🇦 ?
No. All three cosmonauts graduated from the same university, and those two colors are used in it’s emblems.
Bauman Moscow State Technical University
Yes. It’s as close as they can get to a protest in fascist Russia.
The cosmonauts stand with Ukraine, they are literally wearing Ukraine flag colors. It’s disgusting to see random Americans spewing prejudice against Russian people in this comment section thinking it’s funny or ok.
They are wearing the colors of the school they all attended.
@Johnny Rep Thank god! I was so worried the cosmonauts can’t come up with a legitimate excuse for the colors and will have to be punished publicly. I’m glad everyone gets to save face and they’ll just be banned from flying for the rest of Putin’s life.
@Dangerous Ham – I would guess that the suits they changed into were not a last minute item on the loading plan.
Can’t Elon Musk’s SpaceX take over it? No, it can’t. Reality is a tough subject, but it is as it is.
Elon Musk says it can. Has Rogozin’s hubris rubbed off on you?
sure he can, at least push it into a stable orbit if needed.
Peace.
Well, imagine that, it takes going into space by a very, very, very few number of people to find cooperation. Was there a message in the Russian cosmonauts wearing Ukrainian colors?
@Leonid Plesk Bof. Do a search for photos of Cosmonaut uniforms. This is the only yellow one you will see. It is not typica, none of them are, as the costumes are chosen and tailor-made for each trip. So your gotcha comment is useless.
@Ned Ludd lol, I know about costumes of them. Lol 😂😂😂 don’t looking for shii it everywhere
@Leonid Plesk Anyone who still uses “LoL” is the joke themselves.
Lies! They cannot even break God strong beautiful firmament! satan and his puppets agendas are coming to an end! Lord Jesus Christ is coming soon 🙏🏼❤️🕊Repent, believe in the Gospel, Be Born Again
Long life Russia 🇷🇺
Excellent, Putin do not any other way, This is the only way to teach a lesson to US and NATO for messing with russia. He weill never stops until he destroy NATO through Ukraine. He asked NATO nicely not to expand towards Russia. They ignored him and Poor innocent ukrainians paying the price for that.
Long live Russia…. Washington must pay… theirs curse…
SpaceX will get a “special operation” to shuttle those cosmonauts back to Earth. Russia might be dust by the summer.
I SINK RUSSIAN AND AMERICAN ARE LONG LOST BROTHERS SO TRUMP SIR CAN MEDIATE
Space is fake. The iss is fake.
NASA and all space agencies are nothing more than Thelema working a day job.
Love the Ukraine colors! Cosmonauts for Peace!
They are the colors of the university all three graduated from: Bauman Moscow State Technical University.
@Johnny Rep Also no such thing as Russia invasion of Ukraine. US invade Ukraine with Russian tanks and uniforms. Terrible. Russia try very hard to get them to stop, hope it stop soon!
@Johnny Rep What a coincidence!
@Adam Abele – Coincidences aren’t uncommon.
Long live Russia 👍👍
Ahem, their flight suits scream long live Ukraine…
Russian Cosmonauts: How can we give Putin the finger?
Answer: Let’s wear yellow and blue 🙂

Plot twist: the Russian cosmonauts defected to support Ukraine after reaching the ISS 😎
I wonder if their space boss Rogozin, who’s very tight with Putin, will leave them to rot.
Look up the colors of the school they all graduated from.
@Johnny Rep Or the cosmonauts wanted to celebrate their love for IKEA, whose house colours they’re wearing.
Lol it’s just typical clothes of Russians cosmonauts 😁 yellow and blue
@peabase yup 😁😁😁😁 or sun ☀️ is Ukrainian star cause yellow

good luck to them when they return
Astronauts are not like regular people, they will not let earth politics interfere with their extremely important mission for all human kind.
I love Astronauts.
coopperate regardless down there
Thanks God they all, including the American that Russia threated to let him, are back safe.
They’re not safe until out of barbarian hands.
this why i say this ukraine war it just simply entertenement
I am guessing, by the time they return to earth, Ukraine will be Russian territory.
😁😁😁😁 no no Russians people don’t need it. I hope all refugees come back to Ukrain after the end this operation
Z=SS
Jesus! Really?! They’re wearing standard Russian-issue uniforms. They haven’t said anything about disapproving of Putin’s War! The only sacrifice they’re making is they don’t personally get the pleasure of directly murdering Ukrainian children as they serve enthralled of Vladimir Putin like the rest of the Russian population! Putin killed the ISS. If Russians are on board, we should send it into the heart of Moscow!
Scientists don’t care about stupid wars or politics on earth. They care about science.
also cosmonauts wear yellow and blue…
With Ukraine flag dress up.
very likely, though they do have a cover that its also 2 of the 4 colours in their universities flag. So they might be able to get away with it if they stick to that story.
Lava Ukraine 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
They are shining color of ukraina slava ukraina yellow bird they protest may be seen from diffetent side from space true ukraina flag.
Cannaris don’t lie🐤🐤🐤🐥🐥🐥🐥🐥🐥🐥🐥🐥🐥🐥🐥🐥🐥🐥Slava ukraina let that little maniac troll see your are on the side of Ukraina.
Every time I hear NASA Officials talk, I want to say “GO FAKE ANOTHER MOON LANDING”. HE, HE…
The fact is, the reasons why NASA is squealing and begging for cooperation with ROSCOSMOS, is not because “It’s good for Humanity”, “It’s good for Science”…
The reasons are (First) NASA understand that, with all the NASA CONNIVERY, all the MINIMIZING of ROSCOSMOS contribution, all the EXAGGERATION of NASA contribution… without ROSCOSMOS there is no ISS. ROSCOSMOS will disconnect and will have growing and expanding ROSS.
Second reason is that NASA is TERRIFIED of closer cooperation between Russia and China in Space.
If it wouldn’t be for those reasons, NASA would spit on Russia, Russian people and ROSCOSMOS. Right???
Thank goodness America’s dumb sanctions don’t reach space.
It’s typical clothes of Russian cosmonauts. But people looking for some reasons 😅
Fake just like NASA
