Only in the sense they offered the Ukraine a future which Russia opposed. This isn't incitement, theoretically it shouldn't have been Russia's choice. There is no evidence the protests were incited by the West as opposed to the incompetence and corrupted Government which they overthrew, one which had changed the constitution and tried to ban protests.
As far the EU trade deal goes then that is again a matter for the people of Ukraine and if they had rejected it there wouldn't have been armed troops marching into Kiev or war games on their borders. Either way it's not Russia's business with whom Ukraine wishes to do business.
I know it's in fashion to blame every single international incident on the ulterior motivations of the hypocritical West but there is a reason why most of the citizens on Russia's borders look towards the EU as opposed to the Russian Federation. A lot of them remember the last time and looking at how Russia have acted now it's clear that Russian Democracy is back in full flow.
