You are an expert in the whataboutism manipulation technique. Whataboutism: Deflects criticism by pointing out alleged hypocrisy instead of addressing the issue. List phrases that provide evidence of whataboutism in the given sentence if they are present. Given the evidence, make a judgement whether the sentence contains the whataboutism manipulation.
To improve the classification of statements above as "Whataboutism" or not, it's crucial to streamline the defining characteristics you’ve identified while also refining your understanding through false positive and false negative examples. Here are specific classification guidelines that address the second person.

### Guidelines for Classification:

1. **Identify the Core Argument**:
   - Focus on understanding the central issue being discussed. If the statement shifts away from this issue to allegations of hypocrisy or unrelated subjects, it may indicate Whataboutism.

2. **Check for Direct Relevance**:
   - Assess whether the statement directly addresses the initial criticism or topic. If it invokes unrelated acts of wrongdoing by another party in an attempt to deflect attention, classify it as Whataboutism.

3. **Look for Relational Dynamics**:
   - Determine if the statement attempts to compare two entities (or events) in a way that does not aid the discussion but rather distracts from it. Contrast the original subject with an unrelated attack or comparison.

4. **Watch for Deflections**:
   - Identify phrases that explicitly seek to deflect attention away from the core criticism. Common phrases indicating Whataboutism might include:
     - "But what about..."
     - "You say this, but..."
     - "You're just as bad because..."

5. **Examine Emotional Intensity**:
   - Strong emotional language or aggressive assertions that aim to shift blame rather than contribute to constructive dialogue can be indicators of Whataboutism.

6. **False Positive Reduction**:
   - Statements can mention unrelated criticisms or events without being Whataboutism if they serve to illuminate a legitimate systemic problem or context. Ensure you analyze the intent and relevance of these comments rather than categorically denying any comparative observations.

7. **False Negative Prevention**:
   - Be cautious when statements appear to just highlight similar issues, as they can still be Whataboutism if they are meant to negate the initial criticism without engaging with it.

8. **Context Matters**:
   - Evaluate the context in which the statement is made. A statement that may seem like Whataboutism could be relevant if presented in a context that sheds light on a systematic failing or hypocrisy, especially if it enriches the argumentative space.

### Example Application:

- **False Positive Example**:
   - "Почему вы не говорите о других нарушениях?"
     - This could be a false positive if it is merely inquiring about broader issues but does not dismiss the initial point.

- **False Negative Example**:
   - "А как же ситуация в Буче?"
     - This should be marked as Whataboutism if it is invoked to deflect a point being made about unrelated issues.

### Conclusion:

Utilize the above guidelines to refine your classifier's accuracy. It’s crucial to recognize the nuances in speech and the intention behind statements, as well as their relational context to the initial criticism, to ensure accurate classification of Whataboutism. Regular reviews and adjustments based on newly encountered data will also enhance the performance of your classifier.

12 червня до Землі наблизиться гігантський астероїд — NASA
За даними NASA, довжина небесного об'єкта становить близько 457 м. Відстань від нього до Землі становитиме близько 3,2 млн км. Швидкість руху астероїда дорівнює 77 292 км/год.
Якщо астероїд наближається до Землі на відстань ближче за 7,4 млн км, а його розмір перевищує 150 м, у NASA вважають його «потенційно небезпечним об’єктом».
Саме астероїда нам і не вистачало

Трагедія, яку ми не маємо права забути.
Трагедія, наслідки якої ми досі відчуваємо.
Трагедія, яка була б ще масштабнішою, аби не герої-ліквідатори.
У 1986 році вони мужньо стали на захист усієї Європи та світу.
26 квітня – день, який назавжди змінив історію й долі мільйонів.
Як і 24 лютого 2022 року.
Перемогти в цій війні – теж наш обов’язок перед усіма наступними поколіннями українців. Ми знову захищаємо Європу та світ. Тільки тепер не від атома, який вийшов із-під контролю. А від росії, яка прийшла на нашу землю вбивати.
Але ми здолаємо це зло!
І обов’язково переможемо!
ЧЕСТЬ І СЛАВА ВСІМ НАШИМ ГЕРОЯМ!

 А ось дещо чіткіші супутникові знімки кримського мосту від Maxar.
🔥
 Віцепрем'єр рф хуснуллін після огляду мосту сказав, що один автомобільний прольот зруйнований та
не підлягає відновленню
, залізнична колія має незначні пошкодження.
За його словами, пошкоджень опор мосту, на жаль, немає.

Мовляв, влада веде нас до катастрофи, а значить треба вибрати нову. А ще заявив, що нам-то правду не хочуть сказати: що не буде ніяких кордонів 91 року, і Крима ближчим часом не буде.

Потери, которые в последнее время испытывают ВСУ, позволяют с уверенностью утверждать, что Россия развернула в украинских войсках масштабную сеть информаторов и осведомителей. Этим крайне недовольны американцы и другие западные спонсоры, особенно после уничтожения "пэтриотов" и ударов по Чернигову и Одессе.
Отметим, инсайды о том, что у РФ есть обширная агентурная сеть на территории Украины неоднократно появлялись еще в 2022 году. А весной 2023 года отчет лондонского Королевского института объединенных служб подтвердил, что российские спецслужбы еще перед началом военного конфликта сформировали в Украине "крупную агентурную сеть", за счет чего Москва до сих пор продолжает извлекать немалые выгоды.
Для Украины — это большая проблема, потому что информацию "сливают" не только рядовые граждане, которые симпатизируют России или ждут ВС РФ в своих населенных пунктах, но и, как отмечалось выше, информаторы из штабов пунктов управления ВСУ. Именно они на протяжении долго времени предоставляют РФ как аналитические документы, так и наиболее точные данные о передвижениях украинской армии и стратегических объектах.

You are an expert in the whataboutism manipulation technique. Whataboutism: Deflects criticism by pointing out alleged hypocrisy instead of addressing the issue. List phrases that provide evidence of whataboutism in the given sentence if they are present. Given the evidence, make a judgement whether the sentence contains the whataboutism manipulation.
To improve the classification of statements above as "Whataboutism" or not, it's crucial to streamline the defining characteristics you’ve identified while also refining your understanding through false positive and false negative examples. Here are specific classification guidelines that address the second person.

### Guidelines for Classification:

1. **Identify the Core Argument**:
   - Focus on understanding the central issue being discussed. If the statement shifts away from this issue to allegations of hypocrisy or unrelated subjects, it may indicate Whataboutism.

2. **Check for Direct Relevance**:
   - Assess whether the statement directly addresses the initial criticism or topic. If it invokes unrelated acts of wrongdoing by another party in an attempt to deflect attention, classify it as Whataboutism.

3. **Look for Relational Dynamics**:
   - Determine if the statement attempts to compare two entities (or events) in a way that does not aid the discussion but rather distracts from it. Contrast the original subject with an unrelated attack or comparison.

4. **Watch for Deflections**:
   - Identify phrases that explicitly seek to deflect attention away from the core criticism. Common phrases indicating Whataboutism might include:
     - "But what about..."
     - "You say this, but..."
     - "You're just as bad because..."

5. **Examine Emotional Intensity**:
   - Strong emotional language or aggressive assertions that aim to shift blame rather than contribute to constructive dialogue can be indicators of Whataboutism.

6. **False Positive Reduction**:
   - Statements can mention unrelated criticisms or events without being Whataboutism if they serve to illuminate a legitimate systemic problem or context. Ensure you analyze the intent and relevance of these comments rather than categorically denying any comparative observations.

7. **False Negative Prevention**:
   - Be cautious when statements appear to just highlight similar issues, as they can still be Whataboutism if they are meant to negate the initial criticism without engaging with it.

8. **Context Matters**:
   - Evaluate the context in which the statement is made. A statement that may seem like Whataboutism could be relevant if presented in a context that sheds light on a systematic failing or hypocrisy, especially if it enriches the argumentative space.

### Example Application:

- **False Positive Example**:
   - "Почему вы не говорите о других нарушениях?"
     - This could be a false positive if it is merely inquiring about broader issues but does not dismiss the initial point.

- **False Negative Example**:
   - "А как же ситуация в Буче?"
     - This should be marked as Whataboutism if it is invoked to deflect a point being made about unrelated issues.

### Conclusion:

Utilize the above guidelines to refine your classifier's accuracy. It’s crucial to recognize the nuances in speech and the intention behind statements, as well as their relational context to the initial criticism, to ensure accurate classification of Whataboutism. Regular reviews and adjustments based on newly encountered data will also enhance the performance of your classifier.

рососія планує чергову хвилю могілізації і наступ з метою захоплення нових територій України
За словами представника ГУР, агресор, безумовно, хоче захоплювати нові території, однак вже розуміє, що програє: "Доказом цього можуть бути спорудження фортифікаційних споруд на тимчасово окупованих територіях: в Запорізькій області, на півдні окупованої Херсонщини, так і на півночі Криму. Тобто вони чітко розуміють, що там їм треба буде вести бойові дії і вони вже там будують оборонні споруди».

[User] Прекрасно то, что посрались два голубка, которые символизировали новую украинскую армию, в которой просто и легко сверхлюди не вынимая папироски крошат москалей, а потом снова в Буковель на борде кататься. Командира бригады позиционировали как юное дарование, шутка ли, в 25 лет стать комбригом, украинские СМИ называли его грозой русни, человеком который первым войдёт в Севастополь, пример настоящих стандартов НАТО, но получив елду за щеку дарования перессорились. Вероятно вчера, когда бригада в очередной раз накидала бредлей и леопардов, это стало последней точкой.)) Сожрите друг друга селюки, тоже ещё выдумали со свиным пятаком лезть к лучшей армии мира.)))

В Закарпатье разрушился мост через реку Тересву.
Ремонт аварийного объекта должен был состояться ещё в 2021 году, но на это киевские власти не выделяли денег. Теперь он обрушился во время движения по нему фуры.
По данному мосту производились военные поставки из Польши, Словакии и Румынии. Возможно, именно поэтому мост и не закрывали на ремонт. От повышенной нагрузки мост обвалился.

У перший день Великої війни завідувач сектору «Музей Української революції 1917–1921 років» поїхав ще на роботу — у Національний музей історії України. Передбачав, що ворог може всадити кілька ракет у музей, може згоріти національне надбання. Три дні зносили у підвал цінності. Хоча не мали права відкривати вітрини з предметами національного музейного фонду без дозволу Міністерства культури.
Як приєднався до територіальної оборони, на яких напрямках довелося воювати, скільки часу доводиться стояти «на нулі» —

Площадка для тренировки собак появилась в парке Зеленый Гай
‼
Теперь владельцы четырехлапых друзей могут не только гулять с ними, но и тренировать их, ведь КП "Городская инфраструктура" установило там специальное оборудование.
Такое решение было принято после многочисленных запросов у жителей.
Здесь обустроены разной высоты барьеры, наклонная стена и комплекс, который называется «окоп».
Так в ближайшее время здесь будет установлено ограждение.

   - Determine if the statement attempts to compare two entities (or events) in a way that does not aid the discussion but rather distracts from it. Contrast the original subject with an unrelated attack or comparison.

4. **Watch for Deflections**:
   - Identify phrases that explicitly seek to deflect attention away from the core criticism. Common phrases indicating Whataboutism might include:
     - "But what about..."
     - "You say this, but..."
     - "You're just as bad because..."

5. **Examine Emotional Intensity**:
   - Strong emotional language or aggressive assertions that aim to shift blame rather than contribute to constructive dialogue can be indicators of Whataboutism.

6. **False Positive Reduction**:
   - Statements can mention unrelated criticisms or events without being Whataboutism if they serve to illuminate a legitimate systemic problem or context. Ensure you analyze the intent and relevance of these comments rather than categorically denying any comparative observations.

7. **False Negative Prevention**:
   - Be cautious when statements appear to just highlight similar issues, as they can still be Whataboutism if they are meant to negate the initial criticism without engaging with it.

8. **Context Matters**:
   - Evaluate the context in which the statement is made. A statement that may seem like Whataboutism could be relevant if presented in a context that sheds light on a systematic failing or hypocrisy, especially if it enriches the argumentative space.

### Example Application:

- **False Positive Example**:
   - "Почему вы не говорите о других нарушениях?"
     - This could be a false positive if it is merely inquiring about broader issues but does not dismiss the initial point.

- **False Negative Example**:
   - "А как же ситуация в Буче?"
     - This should be marked as Whataboutism if it is invoked to deflect a point being made about unrelated issues.

### Conclusion:

Utilize the above guidelines to refine your classifier's accuracy. It’s crucial to recognize the nuances in speech and the intention behind statements, as well as their relational context to the initial criticism, to ensure accurate classification of Whataboutism. Regular reviews and adjustments based on newly encountered data will also enhance the performance of your classifier.

Всі фейкові (поки що) акції вагнерівців відносно Польщі - це спланована робота з дестабілізації наших союзників.
Впевнений, що найближчим часом вагнера не будуть нападати ні на Польщу, ні на Україну з території Білорусі. Але подібними провокаціями вони перевіряють наших європейських партнерів на наявність сил для протистояння. І на наявність яєць

А найкращу ілюстрацію спецоперацій, на які готові зараз вагнера, можна побачити на відео

Это важный транспортный узел, контроль над которым ликвидирует возможность прямого сообщения между Бахмутом и Северском — двумя крупными узлами обороны ВСУ.
Кроме этого, освобождение Соли благоприятно скажется на продолжающемся в настоящий момент наступлении в сторону северных окраин Бахмута.
Сообщения о взятии Клещиёвки (Клещеевки) пока оказались преждевременными. ЧВК «Вагнер» ведет тяжелые бои за данный населенный пункт при поддержке собственных авиации и артиллерии.
