I'm not involved in this topic, I just stumbled across a link to it. The page history shows revert warring. A current Google News search on "Russo-Ukrainian War" turns up 6 hits, including "Russo-Ukrainian war of words", an obscure opinion-editorial pages, a paywall, and some future-tense uses (implying that the term doesn't currently apply). None of the terms inspire confidence that we should be appyling this term.
I'm a big fan of the idea that Wikipedia should follow sources, Not Lead. I think it's a Bad Idea to let arguments inside 2014_Russian_military_intervention_in_Ukraine to spillover into spawning DAB pages trying to establish a new name for the conflict, a new name that isn't currently being used (at least not in English sources).
