Yes, it can be done. If your company doesn't deal with those languages or other Cyrillic languages, then you can implement the following solution.
How to block Russian / Cyrillic / Ukrainian char sets
There are 2 options:
Write a filter.
Refer to a dictionary text file in a message filter.
1. You can write either a content filter or a message filter to catch these charsets if your business does not interact with Russian / Cyrillic / Ukranian senders.
Here is an outline for a filter.
quarantine_russian_spam:
if (recv-listener == "InboundMail") AND ((body-contains("windows-1251")) OR (header("Content-type") == "(?i)windows-1251")) {
quarantine ("Policy");
}
You may want to place this in the content filters since content filters occur after the anti-spam scanning. Placing this filter in the message filters may be resource-expensive in order to scan the body of the email for the charsets.
2. Another option is to add the list of character sets to a dictionary text file and refer to that in your message filter.
Below are some of the charsets that you can use depending on what language the spam is.

Ich weiß es nicht
Da während des ganzen Mittelalters im Unterschied zu den Nachbarländern in dem Land der Teutschen stark territorial zersplitterte politische Strukturen existierten, entwickelten sich die zum Teil extrem unterschiedlichen deutschen Dialekte (deutsche Mundarten) lange parallel nebeneinander her.
