No

Well, it's patently obvious that the war wasn't averted.

>If you remember events before the beginning of confrontation, it seems that USA was bending outwards trying to prevent invasion.

I don't remember the US doing much at all when this started several years ago.

You seem to be arguing for more aggressive American interventionism, a perennial national political debate of rather global concern. I think you can rest assured it will be on quite the rise for the foreseeable future.

What you consider a possible action to avert the war then?

It seems likely that this recent invasion wouldn't have happened had severe sanctions been levied after Crimea was invaded. Or if Ukraine had been admitted to NATO. There were probably other more diplomatic avenues available. But it's hardly my area of expertise.
