That's complete nonsense of course.
The Ukrainian parliament rejected six versions of the EU Association agreement prior to the breakdown in talks. Here's the relevant section from linked Dec 2013 news story.
President Viktor Yanukovych ordered the suspension of preparations for the pact between Kiev and Brussels after talks between the Russian and Ukrainian prime ministers – and after Yanukovych's party in parliament rejected six bills aimed at meeting the EU's terms.
Ukraine suspends talks on EU trade pact as Putin wins tug of war
Key to the breakdown was the EU's insistance that the deal include the release from prison of the former prime minister, Yulia Tymoshenko the so-called "Gas Princess" who was convicted of official corruption while in office.
Another key was the 'better deal' offered to Ukraine by the Russian Federation which included a no strings loan package and long term energy discounts. On a objective basis the Russian deal was superior as noted by credit rating increase given to Ukraine sovereign debt after it was announced in Dec 2013.
What I said stands. The Parliament overwhelmingly approved the EU agreement, Yanukovych stalled after threats from Putin, and he was subsequently removed by an overwhelming and constitutional parliamentary vote.
In the meantime there was lots of back and forth re Tymoshenko delaying everything, which is irrelevant. The EU is often persnickety. Hence the many arguments the Poles have had with it.
But it was Putin that tried to put the kibosh on the thing. And he “burned” his asset Yanukovych in the process.
