Started? No. Russia was fine with pro-Russian yet legally elected president running the country. However corrupt you may think he was I would argue that Ukraine was in way better shape under him than it is now and that toppling an allegedly corrupted leader via coup is not the way to go in democratic world. So, to me it was a stable situation and the balance was broken by Ukraine, probably with a lot of western support.
That being said, Russia is definitely at war now and there's no doubt that our troops are heavily involved in the whole situation and the Crimea was annexed (something I never.supported, but could swallow, and Putin should have really stopped there)
