A Ukrainian shipbuilder who had worked on Soviet aircraft carrier programs, Valery Vasilevich Babich, has apparently been recruited by China to work for a Qingdao ship design company.
A description on Linkedin said the Qingdao China-Ukraine Special Ships Research and Design Academy is a joint venture between Qingdao government, Shandong Academy of Sciences and Ukraine’s Chernomorsudoproject.
Ukrainian news claim it is fake, and Russian propaganda.
