I believe some of the previous postings are scattered around in the threads for Luna-Glob Lander/Luna 25
and Luna-Resurs/Luna 27, and the "Plan of Russian Space Launches (part 2)":

On future activities Wu told reporters that China would be involved in the Russian Luna 26 lunar orbiter mission, which would then play a part in potential Chinese lunar South Pole landings.

The agreements will see cooperation in Russia’s Luna-26 orbiter spacecraft and Chang’e-7 polar landing mission, according to Roscosmos, which could involve contributions of science payloads to the respective spacecraft. Both missions are currently scheduled for the early-to-mid 2020s.

The two sides also committed to previously announced plans to create a joint lunar and deep space data center, which will consist of hubs in both Russia and China.

The scientist reported on the active progress of work on import substitution of Luna-27 components

In particular, the creation of a domestic drill is at the stage of developing design documentation, said Igor Mitrofanov, head of the Department of Nuclear Planetology at the Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
MOSCOW, 19 July. /TASS/. Work on replacing some components of the Luna-27 automatic station with domestic analogues is being actively carried out in Russia. This was reported to TASS by the head of the Department of Nuclear Planetology of the Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences Igor Mitrofanov.

"We have to redesign several devices, since their previous designs assumed the use of imported equipment. Now we are switching to domestic ones," he said, adding that the work is "in full swing."

According to the scientist, at the moment the creation of a domestic drill is at the stage of developing design documentation.

In January, Mitrofanov told TASS that the Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences in 2023 will begin to transfer the scientific equipment of the Luna-27 mission entirely to domestic equipment. Last year, the European Space Agency announced the termination of cooperation with Russia on the Russian missions Luna-25, Luna-26 and Luna-27 due to a special military operation of the Russian Federation.

In April, in the materials of the government for a visit by Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin to the NGO. S. A. Lavochkin (part of Roskosmos), it was reported that the Luna-26 orbital mission and the Luna-27 landing mission would be implemented starting from 2027-2028. Earlier, the press service of Roscosmos TASS reported that the launch dates for two missions to the natural satellite of the Earth - Luna-26 and Luna-27 - will be specified on the basis of technical projects that will be developed and released in 2023-2024. At the same time, on the website of the Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, 2027 is indicated as the launch date for Luna-26, and 2028 for Luna-27.

"In the period from 2023 to 2024, as part of the work to create space complexes with the Luna-26 and Luna-27 spacecraft, it is planned to develop and release technical projects <...>. Based on the results of the release of technical projects, the launch dates for spacecraft will be specified ", - noted in the state corporation.

As clarified in Roscosmos, technical design is necessary, among other things, to ensure import independence.

At the same time, on the website of the Space Research Institute (IKI) of the Russian Academy of Sciences, 2027 is indicated as the launch date for Luna-26, and 2028 for Luna-27.

Scientific equipment for the Luna-26 and Luna-27 missions is almost ready

Moscow, September 14 - Neftegaz.RU News Agency. Work on developing scientific equipment for the automatic lunar stations Luna-26 and Luna-27 is almost complete.
This was reported by the scientific director of the Space Research Institute (IKI) of the Russian Academy of Sciences, scientific director of the first stage of the Russian lunar program, Academician L. Zeleny in an interview with TASS.

According to him, scientists and specialists under the leadership of the Lavochkin Scientific and Production Association managed to solve all the difficulties associated with the need to replace imported components and manufacture the spacecraft and scientific equipment.

Luna-26 will become a platform for studying the Moon from a low orbit, on which a radar will be installed to study the structure of its subsurface, spectrometers for analyzing the chemical composition, hydration and distribution of water ice, a television stereo system, as well as a plasma complex for studying the interaction of the Moon with solar wind flows.

In addition, Luna-26 will be able to transmit data from Luna-27, which will be located on the surface of the satellite.
Luna-27 will be equipped with a much wider range of scientific equipment compared to Luna-25.
The device will conduct research into the plasma-dust exosphere of the Moon, its regolith and subsurface layers.
Luna-27 will also be equipped with a television system to provide panoramic observations of the landing area and to be used in collecting lunar soil.
