The reason Yatsenyuk became a prime minister, on February 27, 2014 the parliament of Ukraine made him so, with 371 out of 450 deputies supporting the decision. Just because some western politicians also viewed the guy as a good fit for the role doesn’t prove they affected the events in any way.
BTW, President of Ukraine has way more executive power than the PM. As the immediate result of the revolution, Turchynov became the acting president. He received way more political power than Yatsenyuk, yet the unknown people speaking on the leaked call never mentioned his name.
