Their narrative is that the USA manufactured the overthrow of Yanukovych and everything that's happened between Russia and Ukraine since then is the result of that coup.
Obviously the USA is going to support the overthrow of Yanukovych, given the circumstances, but the theories about USA responsibility ignore the millions of Ukrainians protesting over the fact Yanukovych did a 180 on his foreign policy following a massive payoff from Putin.
