Only 1 pad is affected. If they use 81/24 before the pad enters retirement later this year then this launch shouldn't be affected to much. At least that is how I see it. 200/39 is heavily tied up in the cause of the delays.

I suppose this will delay the Blagovest launch.

No.

These launches are both from the same pad, 81/24.
Typical recycling of Proton pad takes ~ 3 weeks.
Although it can be squeezed by overclock shifts.
The fastest recent turnaround between two Proton launches was in Sept. 2017:
Sep 11, 2017  -  Amazonas 5
Sep 28, 2017  -  AsiaSat 9
- 17 days.
