Working on deactivating the backup docking system, and deactivating other systems not needed.  The solar arrays aboard the ISS will soon be commanded to track the sun again.

Roskosmos said that there were 880 kg of ergols for station, but TsUP says that there are only 250 kg

Tanks of the Integrated Propulsion System (KDU) has 880 kg of fuel at launch for maneuvers during autonomous flight and docking, and for deorbit burn. If docking occurs according to plan, then 250 kg of this fuel can be used for reboosts of ISS orbit.
