Thank you for your reporting!

Unfortunately, I could not reproduce this issue in my enviroment. 😞

Your nuxt.config.ts has defaultLocale: 'en'.
When you access the root of the page only en.json is loaded.
If you switch to ru once and reload, both en.json and ru.json will be loaded. This behavior is correct. This behavior is correct, because the defaultLocale: 'en' and the switched ru are required.
