What is there to explain? The US are obviously self-serving but that’s besides the point. They did not force Russia to invade their many neighbours, and nothing had happened has Yanukovych not been a massive corrupt puppet. Also, you don’t need to leak Russian openly discussing interfering with other countries, they broadcast their Great Russia fever dream openly.
European countries have agency and their own security interests. We are perfectly able to understand that the US are going to take advantage of the situation as much as they can get away with. It’s still better than a new iron curtain. It is really not difficult to understand why our interests are more aligned with the US than with Russia.
