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.

Про Зеленского у меня есть одно личное воспоминание.
Эти кадры я снял сам на мобильный телефон в Париже в 2019 году.

То, как вёл себя Зеленский, когда слышал слова о минских соглашениях и призывы к миру.
Уверен, что многострадальный украинский народ рано или поздно введёт реальные и очень жёсткие санкции против того, кто привёл страну к катастрофе

Городской совет Броваров

разрешил срезать 3306 деревьев и 222 куста для строительства нового жилого комплекса.
Речь идет о землях на улице Киевской, 225, которые находятся в государственной собственности. Как отмечено в акте обследования зеленых насаждений, состояние всех деревьев и кустов "удовлетворительное".
Сейчас на участке растут тысячи деревьев всех возрастов и пород, среди которых — более тысячи горнолистных кленов и свыше полутысячи берез. Из всех деревьев решили сохранить только 12: 6 кленов, ель, иву, липу, две сосны и тую.
За удаление деревьев и кустов затсройщик должен заплатить городу компенсацию в размере 13,2 млн грн.
Природу надо беречь, но об этом никто не думает.

В Минобороны объяснили, почему Путин приехал в Мариуполь именно ночью
Решение Кремля устроить визит Путина в Мариуполь именно ночью объясняется соображениями в сфере безопасности и пропаганды. Об этом сообщает пресс-служба Минобороны Украины.
"Как и положено вору, Путин под покровом ночи посетил украинский Мариуполь. Во-первых, это безопаснее. Кроме того, темнота позволяет ему выделить то, что он хочет показать", – заявили военные.
Также отмечается, что ночью службе охраны проще оградить Путина от незапланированных встреч с жителями города, пережившими российские бомбардировки.

   - 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.

Есть четкое впечатление, что Банковая делает все, просто все, чтобы ВСУ максимально ассоциировали с вермахтом времён 2-й мировой.
Теперь 10-я бригада имеет название Эдельвейс, прямо как известная дивизия вермахта «Эдельвейс», которая водружала свастику над Эльбрусом.
Видимо, ЦИПСО хочет, чтобы русские максимально ассоциировали эту войну с Великой Отечественной и воевали до конца

Другого объяснения этого пиздеца у меня для вас нет

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.

Путин — х*йло, Бидзина — х*йло
,
 — у Грузії тривають протести
Акція протесту проти прямого авіасполучення з РФ вже біля офісу грузинської авіакомпанії Georgian Airways.
Протестувальники скандують: "Нет российским самолетам!", "Путин — х*йло, Бидзина — х*йло". Зауважимо, що Бідзіна Іванішвілі є засновником правлячої партії "Грузинська мрія - Демократична Грузія".
За попередньою інформацією, авіасполучення між Росією і Грузією відновиться 19 травня. Перший рейс за маршрутом Москва-Тбілісі-Москва виконає авіакомпанія "Азимут". З 20 травня польоти за маршрутом Тбілісі-Москва-Тбілісі відновить грузинська Georgian Airways.

В Кремле уже прокомментировали сегодняшние голосования в Палате представителей.
Заявления Пескова:
- по поводу
законопроекта
 о конфискации российских активов: «здесь нужно еще разобраться с деталями. Но если действительно речь идет о конфискации наших активов, то США за это ответят.  Москва примет меры, отвечающие нашим интересам без ограничения по времени».
- по поводу
выделения помощи Украине:
 «решение об оказании помощи Украине ожидаемое и было прогнозируемым. Это еще больше обогатит США и еще больше разорит Украину, ещё больше погибнет украинцев».

Позавчора додіки сіли на 2 БМП та 2 Т-72 і вирішили штурмувати. Одну БМП підірвали на міні, іншу FPV дрони. Танчики почали тікати, але в Марʼїнці їх наздогнали дрони, в одного відірвало башту, а інших підбили і покинули, досі стоїть там.
Десант конкретно після цього обісрався, почали бігати, метушитись. Наша піхота забаранила 16 тушок))
Тепер шось не штурмують декілька днів, передумали

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.

Экономический комитет Рады призвал Правительство и НБУ отказаться от решения, которое навредит экспортерам
Комитет Верховной Рады по вопросам экономического развития призвал Правительство и НБУ отказаться от намерения уменьшить срок возврата валютной выручки для экспортеров со 180 до 90 дней. Соответствующее обращение на своей странице в
Facebook
 обнародовал председатель комитета Дмитрий Наталуха.
"Просим пересмотреть решение о принятии постановления об изменении правил и процедур экспорта, как такое, что способно нанести непоправимый вред украинским экспортерам. Вместо этого предлагаем доработать эту инициативу, исходя из потребности различных отраслей экономики Украины", - говорится в обращении Комитета Верховной Рады по вопросам экономического развития.
В своем комментарии к обращению Комитета Дмитрий Наталуха отметил, что причиной инициативы Правительства и НБУ по уменьшению срока возврата валютной выручки для экспортеров стали злоупотребления нескольких компаний, которые вывозят зерно "по-черному". В то же время, по его мнению, если правила нарушают несколько игроков, это не повод наказывать весь рынок.
"Не стоит думать, что такие радикальные и резкие решения изменят ситуацию, не убив при этом львиную долю порядочных украинских экспортеров. За несколько часов мне с коллегами позвонили наверное все, кто экспортирует что-то сложнее пшеницы, абсолютно злые и с непониманием происходящего. Потому что нововведения касались бы абсолютно всех, и тех, кто торгует не аграрной продукцией, и тех, кто возит свои товары не через зерновой коридор", - отметил Дмитрий Наталуха.
По данным Национального института стратегических исследований, в первом квартале 2023 года экспорт металлов и изделий из них в структуре экспорта сохранял второе место (после аграрной продукции) с долей 9%, экспорт машин, оборудования и транспорта - 7,9%, минеральных продуктов - около 4,3%. "Указанные товарные разделы являются лишь частью тех, которые могут пострадать от запланированных нововведений", - говорится в обращении Комитета Верховной Рады по вопросам экономического развития.
Сейчас действует постановление Национального банка, согласно которому срок возврата валютной выручки экспортерами составляет 180 дней.
