Unfortunately that seems to be the prevailing opinion from space analysts. The suits would have taken a month to make, and the mission launch date coincides with the national day to celebrate the annexation of Crimea. So yeah, state PR gaff rather than brave stunt from anti war people in Roscosmos.
I have seen some people saying that Russian media was reporting that the yellow in the suits was because of the local regional colours of where the cosmonauts are from. Which would be a first, very odd and convenient…

I was wondering the opposite thing. It surely must take a while to make a flight suit. Could these have been made in anticipation of victory? Rock up to the space station in a mix of Russian and Ukrainian colours stating that once separated brother peoples are now united in happiness.
