I've also read that the yellow jumpsuits were actually gold to match the school colors for some university or school they were representing. So the premise of the article is a fallacy from the start.
It's a guessing game as to their true intent as they've not explicitly stated the meaning behind the color. If they were really supportive of Ukraine they'd say so which would actually "take a lot of balls" and potentially show "class" to do since they're Russians.
Remind me of this the next time someone mentions how shallow it is to judge someone by the clothes they wear. Which happens a fair amount here on DU.
Here's a link* to an article that does well to address the actual ramifications for the continuation of the space program considering the effects of sanctions and the fluid relationship between the USA and Russia.
It's definitely not a click bait article about their wardrobe. It's an interview with NASA Administrator Bill Nelson where he mentions the need for establishing a contingency plan to keep the space station project going.
The launch comes amid high tension and strained relations in the wake of Russia's ongoing invasion of Ukraine, its cancellation of cooperative commercial ventures in response to sanctions and a steady stream of fiercely critical comments from the director of the Russian space agency, raising concern about the station's future.
There are clearly more important points to consider.

FYI: It's not there, it's their.
