Russian President Vladimir Putin says invasion of Ukraine is going according to schedule.
Putin said that Russians and Ukrainians are"one people," but claimed many Ukrainians have"been threatened and brainwashed" and follow factions that supported Adolf Hitler during World War II.
Ukraine and Russia have been battling for eight days as of Thursday. Russia has declared control over one Ukrainian city, the southern port of Kherson, though some Ukrainian officials have denied the claim. Russia confirmed casualties for the first time Wednesday, saying 498 Russian troops have died. Ukrainian officials say the number is much higher, estimating Thursday it sits at about 9,000.
