Call it a covert war or what you want, but the EU is under attack by Russia and has been for some time. Just because one side has started a war campaign against the other and the other hasn’t responded in kind doesn’t make the war not real.
Did you not read the definition above? It is pretty much the opposite. Just because 2 nations are formally at war with each other does not mean shit, there is a wiki article with absurd examples.

Those are perhaps hostile actions, but that is far away from war or “war campaign”.
So what it’s only war when war is formally declared?

That’s kind of my point
