How could Vatican II be an ecumenical council when no representatives from the Eastern Orthodox Church participated?

Simple. Ecumenical councils are held by the Catholic Church -- not by the Eastern Orthodox churches. The Eastern Orthodox know they cannot hold such a council. Only the Catholic Church can.
