After brisk rate of 8 launches in the first 5 months of 2024, there was not a single Russian orbital launch attempt in the past 2 months, putting Roskosmos on track for a record-low space activities this century as war and sanctions choke the economy: https://russianspaceweb.com/2024.html
Other than the August 15 Progress MS-28 launch and the September 11 Soyuz MS-26 launch, are there any other Russian orbital launches (even if only rumored) in the near future?

This will be possible thanks to the creation of a Russian satellite constellation, an alternative to Starlink. All long-distance Russian Railways trains will also be connected to satellite internet, and the connection in them will be constant, and not just at large stations. It is planned that the first working satellites for this constellation will be launched into orbit in 2026, and by 2030 their number will increase to 737."When we launch (the satellite) constellation. In 2028, I think," the minister said, answering a relevant question on the sidelines of the Digital Industry of Industrial Russia (CIPR-2024) conference. As a representative of the Ministry of Digital Development reported, the introduction of Wi-Fi on board Russian aircraft is connected with the implementation of a satellite Internet project by the company Bureau 1440.

Ekspress-AMU5/AMU6 mission splitPlans to launch a pair of Ekspress AMU-5 and -AMU6 communications satellites on a single vehicle appeared in public documents around 2020. Both spacecraft were expected to be fully equipped with domestically produced components and intended for orbital positions 140 and 53 degrees East longitude respectively.In 2022, the development of the pair was promised to start in 2023, and the joint launch was expected in 2027. However, during 2024, the mission first shifted to 2028 and, in October 2024, a presentation at the SATCOMRUS conference by Aleksei Volin, the Director General of the Kosmicheskaya Svyaz operator, listed their launch in January 2029. The same document also showed the launch of the additional Ekspress-AMU52 satellite in July 2029, into the same orbital position with Ekspress-AMU51 at 140 degrees East for specific coverage of the Russian Far East and Siberia.Among explanations for "splitting" the Ekspress AMU-5 mission into the -AMU51 and -AMU52, could be the increase in mass of the satellites, associated with the switch to indigenous components, which could not be accommodated by the capabilities of the Angara-5 launch vehicle or a prognosis for a higher demand at this position not covered by an available satellite platform.
