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 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capital_punishment_by_the_United_States_military Desertion, willful disobedience. Both capital crimes in the militaryYes 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?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.But it's a special military operation, not war 😉
