In a number of countries it has the status of a terrorist organization. Since 2014, PMC "Wagner" operated in Ukraine, and then in Syria and Africa. The PMC was armed with heavy equipment, artillery and military aircraft. The UN and France accused PMC mercenaries of rape and robbery in the Central African Republic. The European Union and a number of other countries imposed sanctions against the PMC, accusing the group of undermining the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Ukraine, destabilizing the situation in Syria and Libya, as well as gross violations of human rights. The formation was financed from the Russian budget. Acted in coordination with the Russian security forces as a parallel or shadow armed formation that is difficult to hold accountable. The Wagner PMC and its leader Prigozhin played a significant role in Russia's war with Ukraine. In May 2023, Prigozhin announced the capture of the Ukrainian city of Bakhmut by his mercenaries. According to the White House, by mid-February 2023, the PMC had lost more than 30,000 people killed and wounded in Ukraine. On June 23-24, 2023, the Wagner PMC, led by Prigozhin, attempted an armed mutiny in Russia. On August 23, 2023, two months after the mutiny, Prigozhin and commander Dmitry Utkin died in a plane crash. The Principality of Sealand is a virtual state proclaimed in 1967 by retired British major Paddy Roy Bates. In some publications it is called an "unrecognized state". It claims sovereignty over the territory of an offshore platform in the North Sea 10 kilometers from the coast of Great Britain and the territorial waters around it. Bates proclaimed himself the monarch (prince) of Sealand, and his family - the ruling dynasty. They and persons who consider themselves subjects of Sealand are engaged in the creation and development of the attributes of this principality, similar to the attributes of states of the world (flag, coat of arms, anthem, etc.). The first constitution of Sealand came into force in 1975. Government system Sealand is a constitutional monarchy. The head of state is Prince Michael I Bates. The constitution adopted on September 25, 1975, consists of a preamble and seven articles. The orders of the monarch are issued in the form of decrees. The executive branch has four ministries: the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Energy, and the Ministry of Telecommunications and Technology. The legal system is based on modern British law. HistoryPrehistory of Sealand The physical territory of Sealand arose during World War II. In 1942, the British Navy built a series of platforms on the approaches to the coast. One of them was Roughs Tower. During the war, anti-aircraft guns were placed on the platforms and a garrison of 200 people was stationed there. After the end of hostilities, most of the towers were destroyed, but Roughs Tower, being outside British territorial waters, remained intact. The capture of the platform and the founding of Sealand In 1966, retired British Army Major Paddy Roy Bates and his friend Ronan O'Reilly chose the Roughs Tower platform, long abandoned, to build an amusement park.[8] However, after some time they quarreled, and Bates became the sole owner of the island. In 1967, O'Reilly attempted to seize the island by force, but Bates defended himself with rifles, shotguns, Molotov cocktails and flamethrowers, and O'Reilly's attack was repelled. Roy did not build the amusement park, but chose the platform as the base for his pirate radio station Britain's Better Music Station, although the station never broadcast from the platform.[9][unreliable source] On September 2, 1967, he declared the creation of a sovereign state and proclaimed himself Prince Roy I. This day is celebrated as the main public holiday of Sealand. Conflict with Great Britain In 1968, the British authorities attempted to occupy the platform. Patrol boats approached it, and the Bateses responded with warning shots in the air. It did not come to bloodshed, but a trial was initiated against Major Bates as a British subject.
