In the past, maybe. In the modern world I doubt it. But from Russia I’m not surprised, they have a habit of disregarding life for quite a long time.
The laws are still there

Desertion, willful disobedience. Both capital crimes in the military
Yes but at least you will get a trial and not just “go to die at the front or be executed right now”
Do they also get a trail during wartime?
But it’s a special military operation, not war 😉
Yes. The last person that the United States executed for desertion, Eddie Slovik in 1945, was tried in a military court, found guilty, and executed.
I assume that Russia would have rules for the same. Whether they are followed is the question.
