The agency's website states: "On the border with Ukraine, in the village of Zyabrovka in the Republic of Belarus, a military camp is being built to serve the Wagner private military organization. In the future, this military camp is expected to be used to simulate harassment operations on the border with the Chernihiv region."
CNN has not been able to verify this information.
The Zyabrovka base is located near the Belarusian city of Gomel, about 40 km from the border between Belarus and the Chernihiv region of Ukraine.
According to the agency, the military camp has a capacity of 1,000 soldiers.
The National Center for Resistance Studies of Ukraine stated that they obtained this information from "several underground sources."
The agency asserted that there is a "high probability" that Belarus and Russia want to use this military camp to threaten neighboring European countries. These actions could then lead European nations to "reduce support for Ukraine."
Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko brokered a deal that helped end the Wagner uprising in Moscow, after which thousands of Wagner soldiers were moved to Belarus.
Moscow used Belarusian territories as a springboard to invade Ukraine in February 2022, solidifying the cooperation between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Lukashenko.
Recently, Poland accused Belarus of violating its airspace, leading to tensions between NATO member states and close allies of the Kremlin amid increasing regional security instability in Europe.
Warsaw authorities accused two Belarusian helicopters of violating Polish airspace during a military exercise on August 1st, an accusation that the Belarusian Ministry of Defense vehemently denied and deemed "unbelievable".
