The meeting was part of a blitz to shore up support from European allies in the midst of negotiations over a U.S.-led plan to end the war with Russia.

While Macron reiterated Europe's commitment to Ukraine, the United States has put increasing pressure on Zelensky to agree to a deal, even as Russia has signaled its opposition to some of the plan's proposals.

And the Transportation Security Administration announced that beginning February 1st, travelers without a Real ID compliant form of identification will have to pay a $45 fee to fly.

Passengers can prepay the fee up to 10 days before they come to the airport.

Many travelers have already begun flying with passports and other documents considered compliant with the program.

The TSA did not immediately reveal how to pay the new fee and other details about the program.

Today, my colleagues Kim Barker and David Sanger on the backroom process that led to the controversial plan and why it comes at a vulnerable moment for Ukraine's leader.

It's Wednesday, November 26th.

Before we start, I just have one question, Kim.
