Putin was wrong. In his first State of the Union address, President Joe Biden condemned the invasion of Ukraine by Russia.

HuffPostHuffPost

After President Joe Biden wrapped up his State of the Union address late Tuesday, Chuck Todd had a question for a correspondent reporting live from Lviv, Ukraine, as the country is under assault by Russia.

In his national address, the president missed an important point about the refugee crisis in Ukraine, and Todd asked NBC correspondent Tom Llamas how that was playing out.

It is another part of the story that a lot of us thought he would use to speak to the American public.

The most obvious reason that Biden's speech wouldn't have much impact with the Ukrainian people is that they are fighting for their lives at the moment.

Russian troops are in their country trying to take over.

Biden's speech would have begun at 5 a.m. local time if people had the ability to watch it.

You can watch their exchange.

The things Biden won't do are things that Ukrainian residents would have wanted to hear from him. He said that they want NATO to enforce a no-fly zone around Ukraine and that the United States and its allies should put boots on the ground.

Biden should have talked about helping the refugee families.
