These movie characters are wearing Ukrainian insignia and the image of Ukraine's blue and yellow flag on the sleeves of their astronaut uniform.

The insignia features the Tryzub, or "trident," which is the national coat of arms of modern Ukraine. According to a popular theory, the symbol of the trident is a monogram for Ukrainian word "Volya" meaning "freedom."
