I believe the cosmonaut in question said something along the lines of:
"We had accumulated a lot of yellow material so we needed to use it,".
You're right, I'm no expert, but I'm almost certain that Roscosmos don't send the cosmonauts up there with a roll of material and a few sewing machines, expecting them to fashion their own utility suits.
Do you think it might be more likely that they're representing the colours of the university that all three of them graduated from? Not quite as romantic, I know. Sorry.

that just happened to be ukrainian colours, the country Russia is fighting and arresting anyone who shows the tiniest amount of support or even acknowledgement of, and when asked about it, instead of saying, "these are just our university colours, we stand with russia" as you might expect if that was the innocent explanation for such a coincidence, they told some nonsense story about having too much material.
and you consider this explanation more likely.
ok. I'll leave you with that. it's certainly an interpretation that would not make russia look bad. like your interpretation of nazis in the ukraine you were promoting yesterday.
