The Ukraine Hoax: Impeachment, Biden Cash, and Mass Murder is a documentary film promoting the
Biden–Ukraine conspiracy theory.[1] Several news outlets have suggested[2] that this documentary was
propaganda produced by
Russian intelligence agents
Konstantin Kilimnik[a] and
Andrii Derkach,[6] an inference made after a declassified US intelligence report[7] stated that a "documentary that aired on a US television network in late January 2020"[1] was Russian propaganda[8] but did not specify the network or documentary.[9][10]
The film was made by
Michael Caputo, a former Trump advisor who had served as the spokesman for the Department of Health and Human Services, and co-produced by
Sergey Petrushin, who is a
Russian living in
Miami and a close associate of Caputo for over 25 years. Purporting to "expose
Biden-Obama corruption" related to Ukraine, it aired at the same time
Donald Trump was facing a
Senate impeachment trial for withholding military aid from Ukraine while pressuring the country to launch criminal investigations targeting the Bidens.[1][11]Andrii Derkach, who is a member of the
Russian intelligence community, and Andrii Telizhenko, who is a close associate of
Rudy Giuliani, supported Caputo and Petrushin on the documentary. The film aired on the
One America News Network (OANN) on 21 January 2020, only two weeks before the Senate's acquittal of
Donald Trump.[1][2][7][9][12][13]
