Ukraine coup government did. They attacked Donbass in 2014, starting civil war. Donbass called Russia for help to which they answered, but 8 years later.
It was naturally escalation, but hardly starting the aggression in Ukraine. I won't even mention USA having significant role in the coup in the first place and then NATO arming Ukraine during the entire civil war.
Yeah, I know. But the word "aggression" is (intentionally, hats off to US propaganda) vague; the user I was responding to interpreted it as "launching an attack into a territory generally recognized as foreign", so I'm going with that definition. I generally do not argue on terminology, since it's not practical to do so. But thanks for the heads up!
