It is a Russian invasion. When foreign troops and people cross the border with weapons and do battle with government troops it is called an invasion. And on May 25 the people of Ukraine overwhelmingly voted for a government in Kiev. The Parliament just gave complete control of the government to the guy they elected as President.
The world can never accept the equipment of rebel armies or entities that are not official governments with weapons of the type Russian has unilaterally decided to equip the so called "separatist with.
Now name some of the separatist leaders that are actual Ukrainians and not Russians who lived in Russia just a few months ago and were employed by the Russian military.
You didn't look at the map that shows the voting stats did you ?
I glanced at the 2010 election map. I don't think it has anything to do with the May 25, 2014 election.
Look at any map. The east has been pro Russia for years---this isn't any recent development caused by invading Russians.
