Yes they are starting for many things else like ideology, pride, hatred, religion,... There where supposedly even been ones for love and betrayal. That's not profit. If you want to play linguistics, maybe you can twist it all somehow into profit, but like I said, you can pretty much do that with everything.
So profit is not a good argument if you do that. There are many wars that were actually done for profit or at least prolonged because of profit. But the only way you can see Russian invasion of Ukraine in that way is to believe their most hard line propagandists. And I don't and neither should anyone.
