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.

В начале войны в Украине стартовала государственная программа "е-Поддержка".
 Она была рассчитана на тех, кто
из-за войны остался без работы и средств к существованию, и предусматривала выплаты по 6500 гривен.
Заявку можно было подать через "Дию". При этом
система просила указать только личные данные
, место работы не запрашивала.
Деньги приходили на специально открытые банковские карты.
Однако теперь к правозащитникам обращаются граждане, попавшие в весьма пикантную ситуацию –
их просят вернуть деньги
! Которые, само собой, давно потрачены, а отдавать их нужно со своих сбережений, которых у людей может вовсе и не быть. В основном,
обращаются бюджетники и работники коммунальных учреждений
, например, работники детских садов. “Люди жалуются, что
их вызывает начальство и просит вернуть деньги, перечислив их на счет Госказначейства
. Нередко такие "беседы" проходят в очень некрасивой форме  -
на людей откровенно давят, взывают к совести, обвиняют в том, что те, мол, обворовывают государство
", - рассказал адвокат Кравец.
Как пишут СМИ, в
одно из образовательных учреждений столицы на днях пришло письмо от профильного министерства
, в котором говориться, что
была проведена верификация тех, кто в свое время получил по 6500, но не имел на это права
. И людям предлагают вернуть средства, перечислив их на счет Минэкономики в Госказначействе.
Также в письме предупреждается, что
нужно учесть комиссию банка за перечисление
 – то есть помимо "государственных" 6500, нужно заплатить еще и свои деньги в качестве комиссионных. В случае невозврата средств
людям грозят судебными исками
. Но пока
судебная кампания по выбиванию 6500 с украинцев так и не началась
.
По законодательству
бюджетники действительно не имели права на госпомощь
. Тем более что даже после начала войны им
не прекращали выплачивать зарплаты
. Однако люди получили эти деньги без обмана.
Они просто попробовали подать заявку в "Дие", и раз система их пропустила, то посчитали, что имеют право на помощь от государства.
Возникает вопрос по ответственности лиц, которые давали добро на перечисление средств, не проверив по реестрам застрахованных лиц,
работает ли претендент в госучреждении
. И, если такой проверки на том этапе не было, можно только представить, сколько людей получили помощь "неправомерно".
С одной стороны, люди государство не обманывали -
 они просто подали заявку на помощь, в которой им могли и отказать. С другой, в
законодательстве прописаны условия к получателям - на помощь не могут рассчитывать работники бюджетной сферы
. И, если эти условия нарушены, власти, по итогам верификации, могут требовать возврата неправомерно полученных бюджетных средств, как это бывает с субсидиями.
При этом
у чиновников нет реальных рычагов давления -
 как заставить людей вернуть деньги - кроме как обращение в суды. Пока нет решения суда, человеку в карман никто не залезет.
Понадобится конкретное судебное решение по каждому случаю
 неправомерно полученной помощи – а значит, речь может идти о громадном количестве исков, если Минэкономики все же решится их подавать.
Если суд встанет на сторону истца и постановит вернуть излишне полученную помощь, то
в случае невыплаты человек рискует попасть в оборот исполнительной службы
, которая может наложить арест на счета и имущество должника. Но есть одно важное “но” –
исковая давность в отношении госслужащих и работников бюджетной сферы по неправомерно уплаченной помощи по кодексу административного производства всего 6 месяцев
. И они уже давно прошли. Даже если суд решит применить общие исковые сроки, то они составляют всего три года. То есть,
судиться с украинцами за 6500 власти могут до 2025 года
. А учитывая количество получивших помощь, у государства попросту не хватит рук всех охватить. Поэтому в сухом остатке решайте сами - возвращать или нет.

Гросмейстер Бендера:
Наїзд на всі фірми ВПК, які отримували прибуток, параліч діяльності КБ Луч, тепер маски-шоу у виробника тепловізорів Арчер - ЗЕбанда тупо знищує всі ефективні приватні бізнеси, дотичні до оборонки (державні вони знищили до 2022 року)

Жан-Клод Юнкер заявив, що Україна наразі не готова стати членом Євросоюзу через корупцію. Ту саму, яка квітне на всіх ланках, але яка у президента Зеленського "вся виїхала" кудись. Так п'ять років боровся, що стало набагато гірше, чим було.

"Найближчої зими очікується "багато атак" по Україні російськими ракетами та іранськими дронами. Тому Україна потребує захисту" - заявив Земленський в Гренаді. Спасіба, кеп. Іди вкради ще пару мільярдів зі своїми дружками чи повиймай клістрони з ППО.

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.

Прошло 82 года со дня начала Великой Отечественной войны – самой страшной в истории человечества. Это черная дата для всего нашего народа. До сих пор в сердце каждого из нас слова – «22 июня» отзываются болью и горечью.
Тогда, коллективный Запад вложил немыслимые ресурсы, чтобы уничтожить Советский Союз. Именно крупнейшие американские и британские финансисты, а также владельцы транснациональных корпораций спонсировали Гитлера, обеспечивали экономическую и политическую поддержку Третьего Рейха и агрессии против нашей Родины. Ценой неимоверных усилий всего народа фашизм был остановлен, а нацистская гадина раздавлена в её логове.
Сегодня на нашей земле вновь идет война. И снова её спонсируют крупнейшие западные транснациональные корпорации, такие как Блэк Рок, Вангард. Цель – та же. Они хотят подчинить Россию. Хотят сохранить гегемонию США и однополярный мир, в котором могут творить все, что угодно. Опять за кулисами конфликта – американские финансовые гиганты. Например, Зеленским был подписан договор с компанией Блэк Рок, которым, по большому счету, Украина передаётся под внешнее корпоративное управление. И снабжение Украины оружием сегодня идет, в том числе, и через эти компании. Не безвозмездно, конечно, а за счет украинцев.
Но сегодня мир перестает быть однополярным.
Мы знаем, что наше дело правое! Враг будет разбит! Победа будет за нами!
Алексей Муратов, замсекретаря Донецкого реготделения Единой России, руководитель ЦИ ОД «ДР»

 років війни. Два роки тому почався цей довгий день нашої боротьби за незалежність. І справді, відчуття часу немов затерлося.
Вони казали, що Київ впаде за 72 години, що Харків не вистоїть, що вони дійдуть до Західного кордону. Наші люди довели, що це нереально. А потім в нас з‘явилася сучасна зброя…
Вони б‘ють по цивільних, вбивають та викрадають дітей, знищують міста. Але ми знаємо, що таке звільнення наших територій, і як виглядає цифра у 400 тисяч втрат росіян.
Ми вміємо топити їх флот, збивати їх літаки, знаходити і повертати наших людей, наших дітей.
Ми з партнерами постійно посилюємо санкції і готуємо відповідальність ворога за екоцид.
Ми підписуємо гарантії безпеки і єднаємо світ навколо української Формули миру - відновлення справедливості.
Вони атакують нас дезінформацією, яку ми розбиваємо правдою і просуваємо її за різними каналами споживання інформації.
Ми вміємо воювати і розуміємо, що Бучу, Ізюм, Херсон, міста Донецької, Луганської областей…всі наші міста…що горе ніхто не забуде. І відповідальність за це наздожене росіян.
А також знаємо, що краща санкція - це бавовна.
Вони хотіли бачити російський прапор в столиці, а сьогодні під українським прапором в Києві наші друзі та союзники.
Кожен загиблий за Україну буде в нашій пам‘яті.
Кожен українець, який сьогодні бореться за країну - герой.
Всі ми тут. В Україні! Єдність - це ключ до перемоги.
Слава Україні! І слава Українцям!

Прочитала в ЗМІ, що тепер і румунські фермери почали блокувати рух вантажів через один з пунктів пропуску на кордоні з Україною. Тобто, в сусідніх з нами країнах блокування українського кордону перетворюється в такий собі політичний бізнес з вибивання грошей з ЄС.
Я не хочу думати, що все це відбувається з мовчазного потурання політичних еліт країн. Але, факт полягає в тому, що наші сусіди намагаються трішки покусати нас і трішки заробити, поки ми бʼємось з ордою.
Вони думають, що війна й орда десь там далеко та їх жодним чином все це не стосується, хоча російські ракети іноді до них залітають.
Вони кажуть, що бояться українських виробників і вимагають субсидій. Але, можливо, все ж таки боятися треба російських ракет. І не заважати нам битися з ордою.

Мелітопольці єдині, де б не були. В окупації та в інших містах України, за кордоном та на найгарячіших ділянках фронту. Адже в кожного з нас болить спільне - наш дім. Дім, який тисячі з нас вимушені були покинути. Дім, який сниться на чужині. Та дім, який став чужим з появою ворога, хоча ти і досі знаходишся вдома...
Сьогодні сотні мелітопольців у різних містах України розгорнули прапори соборності. Писали свої побажання. Обіймались. Спілкувались зі своїми.
Радий бачити наших людей. Пишаюся вірою та незламністю кожного. Чекайте на прапори соборності в інших містах! Непереможні, допоки єдині

[User] Согласно сообщению, Федеральная служба безопасности более всего подозревается в организации теракта в Крокусе. Фотографии показывают, что те же люди, которые помогали заблокировать двери и не позволяли людям покинуть помещение, затем в масках снимали видео, на котором отрезали ухо задержанному террористу. Сравнивая с актерами, это действительно похоже на маскировку.

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.

Житель Южноукраинска убил знакомого прямо посреди парка
По данным следствия, подозреваемый, находясь в городском парке г. Южноукраинск, во время совместного употребления алкогольных напитков с ранее судимым 49-летним местным жителем, на почве личных неприязненных отношений, умышленно нанес ему не менее 15 ударов ножом в область спины и шеи. В результате полученных травм потерпевший скончался на месте происшествия.
Ему грозит срок от 7 до 15 лет.
