Despite the crisis on the ground, Russia is using the International Space Station to spread anti-Ukraine propaganda.
The flags of the Luhansk People's Republic and the Donetsk People's Republic are held by three cosmonauts in an image shared on the official Telegram channel.
Ars points out that the United Nations doesn't recognize these two "republics" It's a space photo op with a clear anti-Ukraine message as the two nations do battle down on Earth.
Russia claimed on Sunday that it had taken control of the Luhansk region.
Residents of the occupied areas of the Luhansk region have been waiting for eight years, according to the Telegram message. July 3, 2022, will be remembered as the day that the republic fell.
NASA doesn't need to escalate despite the provocation.
The Russians and Americans are needed for operations, according to the administrator of NASA. The relationship between astronauts and cosmonauts will continue to be professional.
It is awkward. The swap of Russian and American spaceships for a rendezvous with the International Space Station has yet to be approved by either country.
It's not clear if the stunt will affect operations at all. The use of the space station as a wartime cudgel should cause international collaboration to be paused again.
