This is language taken from Russian propaganda. It is a lie.
Russian Intelligence likely knew early on what was happening, and made contingencies for action should it happen.
The Russian GRU has been implicated in the murders of a Ukrainian politician, as well as in documents wherein they recommended the use of violence against Maidan protestors to Yanukovich.
It is a lie that the United States or Europe are involved in a massive conspiracy to take over Ukraine with "fascists" to threaten Russia.
The bigger globo-econimic game currently in play aside, Russia would have been seriously remiss to not act after the coup, on their border.
It is a lie that there was any coup. Yanukovich's own party turned on him, as did the rest of the Ukrainian rada. the Interim government is made up of democratically elected members. No one seized power in Kyiv.
-Tying the two events together is likely a step too far. It is a civil war now.

“It is a lie that the United States or Europe are involved in a massive conspiracy to take over Ukraine with “fascists” to threaten Russia”

Lie to yourself, but don’t try lying to the evidence.
“It is a lie that there was any coup.”
