The Russian RT.COM news site tells a story completely focused on a "major malfunction of the landing gear": https://francais.rt.com/internationa...ose-sur-ventre
Seems like a different story from what's being discussed here...

This is the French language version, I couldn't find the same news article in the English version.
Quick translation of the title and first paragraph:

An Airbus A321 from the biggest Russian airline, Aeroflot, has come very close to a disaster. The pilots have managed to land the airplane without incident (sic) while facing a major malfunction of the landing gear. No one has been hurt.

In the evening of January 3rd, 171 passengers and six crew members aboard flight SU 1008 have felt like they were actors in an Hollywood movie. While approaching Kaliningrad, the landing gear of their Airbus A321 has been subject to a major malfunction. As a consequence, the landing has been acrobatic to say the least but the pilots have handled this situation perfectly.
