It's a sign of desperation if anything. They have no experience with drones and don't speak Russian. They'll hightail back to the last place they felt safe. Russia may as well doodle on a bunch of maps and hand them over

Russia committing war crimes is nothing new
This isn't a war crime — you may be thinking of the war crime of transporting military personnel in vehicles with medical markings (red cross, etc)
If your country is big enough, you can commit war crimes openly and get away with it. I hope that changes.
Not like the ICC or League of Nations can do anything that isn’t a strongly worded letter and condemnations.
I wouldn't count on the League of Nations to even do that much. The last time they did anything noteworthy was in 1946.
Ukraine also uses many civilian-sourced vehicles, including for moving troops. It is not inherently a war crime. It is frankly necessary when both sides are losing vehicles to enemy action constantly.
