It is a civil war now, no matter how vehemently some try to deny it.
No comment from you (or RT) about the Russian thugs attacking peaceful pro Ukrainians all across Donetsk.
A civil war implies that there are two equal sides fighting it out. None of the polls conducted by Pew or other organizations show any popular support for separatism or annexation. The overwhelming majority of citizens even in the East and South is that of Ukrainian unity. What we see here is a minority of the poor and criminal element being propped up and organized by Russian GRU. This is not a civil war, therefore, but Russian destabilization of Ukraine.
Civil war with an outside power taking the territory? That is foreign aggression
Putin marching through the streets of Crimea to observe his territorial acquisition tells me this is not a civil war
