OneWeb plans to resume its launches from Russia:http://russianspaceweb.com/oneweb.html#2020_0726Several hurdles to clear before resumption of flights including a required Russian vaccination of foreign personnel because the vaccine is not yet easily available in the USA and EU. New launch dates will be announced at a later date partly as launches are to be shifted to Vostochny Cosmodrome.

[Re: OneWeb satellites delivery to Vostochny, fifth line in attachment]
The team just integrated the 36th satellite for our next launch, which means all the satellites are safe in their spacecraft containers, preparing for flight from @NASAKennedy to Vostochny. Loading in is a precise operation requiring extensive coordination & teamwork. Congrats!
Time to load up! 36 OneWeb satellites are safely packed and leaving the @OneWebSatellit1 factory heading to the tarmac where they will be loaded on to a plane to depart for our next launch. Follow along for more updates -#OneWebLaunch.
