This does not work this way. Try your script and then press <C-v> in ua keymap.

Normally X has some "primary" layout (not sure how exactly it is
called) and when you hold <C- keys which you press next are treated
according to that layout. If you use `setxkbmap ru` you will be able
to use <C-ы>, but not <C-s>.
