I have multiple languages on my keyboard and I read keys in my script and I do not want to allow cyrillic characters when ru layout is on. If it is not possible, what's an optimal solution?

Are you looking for something like this?
You can clean up some of them automatically by encode text as Cryllic and then decode it as ascii/utf8

$UserInput = 'Áçčèñţş ůşîñģ dïäçřïţïçš'
Pwsh> RemoveDiacritics -Text $UserInput
# outputs
Accents using diacritics

function RemoveDiacritics {
    <#
    .SYNOPSIS
        Removes diacritics from text, by utilizing Cryillic encoding. Works pretty for no effort.
    #>
    param(
        # text with accents and diacritics
        $Text,

        # Utf-8 seems to work best? Override if you want something else
        [ArgumentCompletions('Utf-8', 'Ascii')]
        $DecodeAs = 'Utf-8'
    )
    $bytes_cry = [Text.Encoding]::GetEncoding('Cyrillic').GetBytes( $Text )
    [Text.Encoding]::GetEncoding( $DecodeAs ).GetString( $bytes_cry )
}
