Abstract: This paper introduces TweetIntent@Crisis, a novel Twitter dataset centered on the Russia-Ukraine crisis. Comprising over 17K tweets from government-affiliated accounts of both nations, the dataset is meticulously annotated to identify underlying intents and detailed intent-related information. Our analysis demonstrates the dataset's capability in revealing fine-grained intents and nuanced narratives within the tweets from both parties involved in the crisis. We aim for TweetIntent@Crisis to provide the research community with a valuable tool for understanding and analyzing granular media narratives and their impact in this geopolitical conflict.
