So far, Russia and its allies have consistently referred to the Ukraine-Russia war as a "special military operation".
We will go by mainstream media reporting such as CNN, Fox, Reuters, New York Times, Washington Post, The Guardian etc.

Going all the way to "invasion" seems to require a considerable break of Russian-Chinese diplomatic alignment, or something drastic (coup, pre-coup power decay, ??surprise glasnost??) in Russia. Is the spirit of the question more about that, or about ~accidental divergence of individual speakers from the party line, or about them mincing words less and calling it "war", or something else?
