Biden to focus on Ukraine as State of the Union kicks off

US President Joe Biden’s first State of the Union is about to begin.

Biden’s staff has revised the speech multiple times in recent days to include references to Ukraine, and he is expected to focus on the war at the top of the address, CNN reports.

Many members of Congress are wearing lapels or emblems showing support with the embattled country. The White House has positioned Ukraine’s ambassador to the US next to First Lady Jill Biden for the speech, in a sign of support.

“We stand with Ukraine,” Vice President Kamala Harris tells reporters as she arrives at the Capitol.
