I doubt it, he wants to maintain security on his borders. We would react the same way if the Russians came into Mexico and instigated a coup and created instability on our borders as Nuland and insane McCain did in Kiev.
Unfortunately, our interest is basically "anything that upsets Putin is a good thang"...pretty much old-school cold war psych. Our real concern is that he might be interested in re-forming his borders a bit more...Estonia and Latvia for example. Actually, the real elephant in the room is Ukraine's financial problems being compounded by their massive theft of pipeline gas contracted to Europe a few years ago.
i.e; Despite our fakey bemoaning of the alleged resurgence of the Russian Bear, Putin is more than a little justified in the course he's chosen.
