What happened to the Red Cross symbol in this conflict? Have we all gone beyond respecting the evacuation of the wounded?

It has long been a tactic to wound a soldier in the hopes of drawing out more soldiers to rescue him and then shooting as many as possible. . You are correct in saying that Red Cross-marked medics seem to be totally absent, although I don't think many Russians would respect the markings.
