How krita and blender sees keys with russian layout

When I change my keyboard layout to russian, some programs (blender, pureref, krita at some extent and maybe others) don't recognize the keys that stand for russian letters. Binds that only use keys like alt, ctrl, shift, space etc still work.  For example, if i would press ctrl+z with a russian layout, some programs will see this as ctrl+я or ctrl+(unknown) and won't do the command tied to ctrl+z.

This problem occurs on wayland, but not present on x11.
