It is a clever manipulation strategy via controlling the frame of analysis. George Lakoff studied this type of thing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Lakoff https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Lakoff If you analyze from the US or Russian perspective, you presuppose/assert them as the entities with agency while denying Ukrainians theirs.
