Default DIR fn when filename has non-ANSI characters

I want to use the DIR function to extract the names of files in a directory
and write them into a spreadsheet. As the filenames are all in Russian they
are all non-ANSI characters and DIR simply returns a question mark character
for each letter in the file name. Is there a way of getting DIR to read
non-ANSI?

Grateful for advice.
