That call happened around the time when the opposition, the government, the EU and Russia were negotiating the "Agreement on settlement of political crisis in Ukraine"[1]. The gist of the agreement was that the opposition candidate would become prime minister and Yanukovych would remain president until the elections (which didn't materialize because he fled the country). Note that there was no US at the table. Nuland and Pyatt weren't "orchestrating" anything. In fact, they were frustrated that the US wasn't participating in the talks, hence the "fuck the EU" in that call. All this leak shows is that US officials were trying to influence negotiations to which they weren't invited.
