Bug Description
The serif on the uppercase Г in Cyrillic in the monospace font seems very weird to a native Cyrillic reader such as me (for Serbian language).
Ideally the design should be changed to the same as in the Ubuntu proportional fonts, just a plain two-stroke character, suitably proportioned to fill out the monospace cell when used in runs of monospace Cyrillic.
Proposed solution:
1. Monospace Г to have bottom serif removed
2. Redrawn as two strokes, correctly proportioned for monospace Cyrillic usage

Same solution probably needs applying to Gamma.
In the end Amelie managed to get the lowercase 'r' to fill the space without serifs, so it should be possible here too.
Danilo: if a serif was needed to fill out the space, would a serif added to the top-right (as a downward hook) be preferable to the slab at the bottom?
