That might be part of it. I think Putin could be banking on the new govt being too inept to defend the country, which could turn the protesters on them and cause mass chaos within the EU favored opposition. Which would prove the Russian argument that the protesters are a bunch of illegitimate hooligans.

Yeah I don't think they will either, that is why they will still end up with NATO at their doorstep
Ukraine talking big shyt right now..they ready to go at it with Russia 
Peep my post above, I think Putin is looking to further destabilize/delegitimize the opposition in order to make them much less viable for NATO long term. Besides, what would be left of Ukraine may not want to associate with the West by then since they didn't step in to assist when Russia came knocking. It's not only a bold move but a smart move that Putin just made. He's not only challenged the EU/US to respond militarily, but he's put the new Ukrainian govt in a precarious position having to respond to Russia lest they want to appear weak to the mob at Independence Square. This was done knowing the Ukrainian military can't take Russia.
I see NATO arming the opposition if they haven't ended up fractured like the Syrian opposition.

Ukraine to lose Russian gas discount
Here’s more from Reuters on Gazprom.
Ukraine may lose a discount to the gas price it now pays to Russia’s state gas company Gazprom due to Kiev’s outstanding gas debt, Gazprom spokesman Sergei Kupriyanov told Reuters on Saturday.
In December, Russia agreed to reduce gas prices for Kiev by about a third, to $268.50 per 1,000 cubic metres from around $400 which Ukraine had paid since 2009, after ousted President Viktor Yanukovich spurned an EU trade deal in favour of closer ties to Moscow.
Kupriyanov said Ukraine’s outstanding gas debt stood at $1.55 billion for 2013 and gas deliveries so far this year.
“It seems that with such gas payments and fulfilment of its obligations Ukraine may not keep its current gas discount. The gas discount agreement assumed full and timely payment,” he said.
The deal allowed for the price to be revised quarterly between the 5th and 10th day of the first month every quarter.
