That statement was posted in this sub-forum. The translated quote is here. Khrunichev later issued a correction, but none of us here at NSF saw the correction. Today, I checked the RIA article quoted in that post--no correction there.As stated earlier in this thread, no NSF contributor had found any other mention of such a satellite--not from Telesat Canada, not from the GEO-comm satellite manufacturers, and not from ILS.

There is no Anik G2V.

It looks like they removed the information on the Luch-5 data relay satellite simply because it is erroneous. I understand the satellite to be launched by this Proton is of the same type as the Luch/Olimp-K satellite launched on September 27, 2014. This is not a data relay satellite, but a military satellite that has been traveling across the geostationary belt and has regularly parked itself close to foreign communications satellites, presumably to perform signals intelligence. A fourth Luch-5 data relay satellite was ordered only last year to bridge the gap to the next-generation Luch-5M satellites, which will not start flying until 2025. The satellite ordered last year is called Luch-5VM and differs from the three earlier Luch-5 satellites in that many foreign-built electronic components are being replaced by Russian ones (because of the sanctions). According to an article published last year in ISS Reshetnev's in-house newsletter "Sibirsky sputnik", the production cycle was expected to last three years, so this satellite will not be going up until 2023 at the earliest. It has not yet been decided whether it will be launched by Angara-A5 or the Proton. If one of the currently orbiting Luch-5 satellites fails early, a second replacement satellite may be ordered as well.See:https://www.iss-reshetnev.ru/media/newspaper/newspaper-2020/newspaper-505.pdf(p. 4)
The page titled "Russian Launch Manifest" (http://www.sworld.com.au/steven/space/russia-man.txt) lists the Ekspress AMU-4 launch as scheduled for 2022 and a planned launch of the Yenisey A2 with a Proton-M. However, a January 2020 news report from RIA Novosti said that the Ekspress AMU-4 launch is scheduled for 2021, and Gunter's Space Page doesn't list the Yenisey A2. Has there been any latest word on scheduled launch date for the Ekspress AMU-4, AMU-5, and AMU-6 geostationary telecom satellites, but also the Yenisey A2?

Nothing is cancelled. Angara is used for testing.

The big question is whether the rockets with the serials 93571, 93572, 93573, 93705, 93708, 93709, 93710, and 93711 have been canceled or will be used to launch testbeds for the future Orel spacecraft.
