Answer using no long words: yes

"Uprated Soyuz booster designed for high performance Russian government
missions - delivery of Soyuz and Progress spacecraft to the
International Space Station."

They appear to use functionally identical launchers, although it's
possible the manned flights are flown with extra telemetry.
