UCA and Russian letter Ё

In Russian, the difference between Е and Ё is primary at the beginning
of a word as they are considered distinct letters of the alphabet, yet
secondary in the middle of a word, as the dieresis over Ё is not
mandatory. As an example, ель < ёлка, but тёлка < тель, see
http://ru.wikisource.org/wiki/%d0%9e%d1%80%d1%84%d0%be%d0%b3%d1%80%d0%b0%d1%84%d0%b8%d1%87%d0%b5%d1%81%d0%ba%d0%b8%d0%b9_%d1%81%d0%bb%d0%be%d0%b2%d0%b0%d1%80%d1%8c_%d1%80%d1%83%d1%81%d1%81%d0%ba%d0%be%d0%b3%d0%be_%d1%8f%d0%b7%d1%8b%d0%ba%d0�

A cursory scan of the UCA doesn't reveal if that's implementable, and
experiments in a fairly fresh Linux Mint yield either
ель < ёлка < тель < тёлка or ель < тель < тёлка < ёлка depending on
the LANG setting (en_US works better than ru_RU).

Could someone tell if the UCA in its current form is able to support that?

Thanks,
