Russia will hold seven space launches in July
This month we have to carry out the number of start-ups that we have carried out during the entire six months, in order to increase the figure that is much higher than last year. <...> You know, on Baikonur, there will still be a manned launch on July 20, a transport ship on July 31, the rest is Plesetsk, and so on. Only seven starts, "he said
There could be three launches from Plesetsk in July.
Assuming there are indeed 3 launches scheduled from Plesetsk in July
and
Given the first week of July is almost gone and we have not seen any NOTAMS
then
Spacing between launches should be ca. 10 days (like July 10, July 20, July 30)
Since there is only one pad for Soyuz-2 (43/4) such cadence seems doubtful to me.
Theoretically it is possible to recycle pad in 10 days, but two times in a row - it's quite a different story.
So, my guess - one of these July launches is Rokot with Geo-IK-2.
http://novosti-kosmonavtiki.ru/forum/forum14/topic16307/?PAGEN_1=47
The Russian launch schedule on the "Novosti kosmonavtiki" forum now shows the following launches scheduled from Plesetsk "no earlier than July", all from pad 43/4:
- Soyuz-2-1V/Volga (payload not given, but possibly Nivelir/14F150 nr. 2)
- Soyuz-2-1A/Fregat : Meridian-M nr. 18L
- Soyuz-2-1A/Fregat : 14F01/Neitron

Remember that the other 2 launches are NET July and does not mean a launch is actually scheduled but is rather indicative of a possible launch opportunity.

This launch thread shows the LV as a Soyuz-2-1b/Fregat-M.
Gunter's Meridian satellite page, list the four additional Meridian satellites (#8, 9, 10, 11) launching on Soyuz-2-1b/Fregat-M.
The
"Plan of Russian space launches (part 2)" thread shows Meridian #8 and 9 launching on Soyuz-2-1a/Fregat-M.
Question 1
Which LV make/model is correct?
EDIT 7/22 Soyuz-2-1a with Fregat upper stage
***
Question 2
How do we know the recent NOTMAR posted directly up-thread is for
Meridian and not for
Neitron?
(
Neitron #1 is the other Soyuz/Plesetsk payload listed as possibly launching in July 2019.)

Neitron is launching to a previous programmes orbit. I have no analysed the NOTAM's orbital path through the drop zone.

You are correct. Sadly no chance of a webcast, and like Molniya before it, Meridian does not normally get a Kosmos designation.

launch 05:56
https://www.militarynews.ru/story.asp?rid=1&nid=513761&lang=RUTranslation
Moscow. July 30. INTERFAX - The Soyuz-2.1a launch vehicle with Meridian satellite was launched on Tuesday from the Plesetsk Cosmodrome, the press service of the Russian Ministry of Defense told reporters.
"At 08:56 a.m. from the launch pad No. 4 of the State Testing Cosmodrome of Plesetsk (Arkhangelsk region) a successful launch of a medium-class Soyuz-2.1a launch vehicle with Meridian spacecraft was carried out by a combat calculation of the Aerospace Forces Space Forces," the military department said.
The press service noted that the prelaunch operations and the launch of the Soyuz rocket itself were carried out on a regular basis. Control over the launch and flight of the rocket was conducted by an automated ground control system for spacecraft.
In May, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said that two upgraded Meridian-M communication satellites will be launched for the military in 2019. In addition, the minister said then, the formation of the orbital group of military communications "Blagovest" consisting of four spacecraft will be completed. According to Shoigu, "it will provide an opportunity to expand the availability of satellite communications in Russia and beyond, including the Arctic zone."

The Defense Ministry clarified that the launch of the spacecraft into the calculated orbit using the propulsion unit of the Fregat upper stage will take several hours.
