It looks like Artic Link is going to bring it down to 86ms [1] with an initial capacity (surprised they didn't talk about that) of 2FP x 8λ x 40Gbps = 640Gbps.

It looks like Artic Link is going to bring it down to 86ms [1] with an initial capacity (surprised they didn't talk about that) of 2FP x 8λ x 40Gbps = 640Gbps. The Artic Fiber website is full of good information, including expected latency between a bunch of cities, and high level colocation options [2]. All I could find on the Russian initiative was this simple website [3]. Total available capacity is 100WL x 100 Gbit/s, but no idea what phase 1 will be.
