There is strong evidence for that. A ‘reporter’ at RIA Russian media accidentally uploaded a preprepared article saying Ukraine had been returned to Russian rule and tried to delete it. [1]
Here's some commentary about what that means from a guy I have really come to respect. [2]

It's possible at that scale that that reporter was just writing both outcomes to be prepared for each scenario, while not being aware of what the actual agenda was. Yes, it's state-owned media. That doesn't mean everything they write comes directly from mouths of the top officials. It just means it's generally biased towards the state.
