President Joe Biden will deliver the State of the Union address to a joint session of Congress Tuesday night.

What to expect: Biden will address the Ukraine-Russia war, which has dominated the headlines in recent days, according to The Washington Post.

  • The speech “will reflect the way the crisis has added urgency to his longtime theme of defending democracies,” a source familiar with the speech told The Washington Post.
  • Indeed, Biden’s speech will likely center on what’s happening in Ukraine. Russia invaded Ukraine last week, but Ukraine has shown some resistance to the invasion. Currently, Russia is sending a convoy of military soldiers and vehicles toward Ukraine’s capital city of Kyiv.
  • Countries across the world have called for a ceasefire.

Time: The State of the Union starts at 7 p.m. MT.

More options: CBS, CNN, Fox News, MSNBC and others will have the State of the Union.
