Are you referring to that leaked call? https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-26079957 If the leak is true, the people in the call are doing precisely what they publicly said they were doing — trying to negotiate a peaceful political resolution of the ongoing crisis.
As shown by the events which followed, all their talks achieved absolutely nothing.
The resolution of the crisis in Ukraine was neither peaceful nor political. Instead, couple weeks after the alleged call the crisis was resolved after the bloodshed on February 18-20.
Then Russia has launched military invasion, escalating the internal political crisis into an international war. Sadly, the war is still ongoing, despite almost 10 years have passed since these events.
They're literally picking out the next PM to replace yakunovich and it turned out exactly as they said.
The logical error you just made is called “post hoc fallacy” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post_hoc_ergo_propter_hoc
The reason Yatsenyuk became a prime minister, on February 27, 2014 the parliament of Ukraine made him so, with 371 out of 450 deputies supporting the decision. Just because some western politicians also viewed the guy as a good fit for the role doesn’t prove they affected the events in any way.
BTW, President of Ukraine has way more executive power than the PM. As the immediate result of the revolution, Turchynov became the acting president. He received way more political power than Yatsenyuk, yet the unknown people speaking on the leaked call never mentioned his name.
