I think Putin would have gone quite far as long as Yanukovich stayed in command in Kiev. Probably short of sending Russian troops into the Ukraine, however, meant to fight the opposition.

But with Yanukovich loosing grip and fleeing Kiev, I think Putin realised that this man was no longer a card to bet his money on.

He will probably hope that Tymochenkop becomes the new leader, because although they do not love each other, she is a known variable, whereas all other opposition leaders probably are not.

But it seems that the opposition's enthusiams over Tymochenko is somewhat tuned down, too. She has been the leader of the country - and she rose quite some anger and opposition to her back then, she was controversial a figure, absolutely.
