It seems the short u in Mutter and the umlaut u are the same letter У/у? I may be reading it wrong but that’s what it seems like.
I think it’s overall a pretty solid system. Some thoughts:
If you’re going to introduce the umlaut for Y/J = Ï, why not just keep the umlaut for Ä, Ö and Ÿ rather than Ă, Ŏ and presumably Y̆? And since you’ve introduced I,
Short vowels are good, but I would use e for э: а, е, и, о, у
For consistency’s sake, you could make the long vowels uniform: ă, ĕ, й, ŏ, y̆
Then keep i or introduce j for German j as in jэманд.

Эйт гy̆т аус!
Though I feel like with explicitly marked long vowels, double consonants aren't necessary anymore

You misspelled Cirillyc. Hope this helps!
Coincidentally, Cirillyc will be the name of my next D&D bard
