It's a war. Calling it something else is very Dick-Cheney.
You can't point out that they are trying to take Odessa by force _and_ that they want peace, within the same discussion.

It is a war. Not a full scale one though (yet).
I can say that because at this point the west has to offer guarantees if they want peace (they don't). It is not Russia that violated the agreements. It is the west. Since the west doesn't want peace, Russia tries to achieve its goals militarily.
