Russia was invading Ukraine before the post-Maiden revolution government had the chance to get its pants on. Russia's "little green men" were rolling onto Ukrainian soil far before the Kyiv government could possibly have done anything. Russia saw a moment of chaos and took advantage of it.

That which can be argued without evidence, can be refuted without evidence.

The replacement government in Kyiv under acting president Oleksandr Turchynov was created on 27 February 2014. Literally the same day, unmarked Russian forces seized the building of the Supreme Council of Crimea. Putin first denied that they were operating under Russian command, but once Crimea was under Russian control admitted to lying. Happy?
