Ukraine confirms Wagner is building military camp in Belarus

“On the border with Ukraine, in the village of Zyabrovka in the Republic of Belarus, a military camp is being built for the Wagner private military organization. In the future, this military camp is planned to serve in simulating sabotage activities on the border with the Chernihiv region,” the agency’s website said.

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.

Ukraine's National Resistance Research Center said it had obtained the information from “a number of underground sources.”

The agency asserted that there is a “high possibility” that Belarus and Russia want to use the military camp to threaten neighboring countries in Europe. These actions could then cause European countries to “reduce support for Ukraine”.

Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko brokered a deal that ended the Wagner uprising in Moscow, and thousands of Wagner soldiers were subsequently moved to Belarus.

Moscow used Belarusian territories as a springboard to invade Ukraine in February 2022, cementing the partnership between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Mr. Lukashenko.

Poland recently accused Belarus of violating its airspace, leading to tensions between NATO member countries and close allies of the Kremlin government amid an increasingly unstable regional security situation in Europe.

Warsaw authorities accused two Belarusian helicopters of violating Polish airspace during a military exercise on August 1, an allegation that the Belarusian defense ministry strongly denied and called "unbelievable."
