Is it because the US is a big easy target? And that it is far harder to make the EU the evil monster, because they haven't started any wars lately?
I see the blame piled on America as a literal distraction. Russia know they would lose the argument if they try to make the mud stick on EU. America has done many bad things, and still do them to this day, and that's why they are now being accused of what they didn't do. But you should not charge a criminal for a crime he didn't actually commit, that's just not how it works.

russia blaming the US didnt start with the ukraine crisis.
russia started blaming US for every bad thing happening to russia since the protests vs putin.

its just a continuation of putin's strategy of creating an imaginary enemy in the form of the "evil west". nothing unites a nation like an external foe afterall.
