The US Senate has passed a $95 billion (£75 billion) aid package, which includes $61 billion for Ukraine, setting up a showdown with the House of Representatives.

The foreign aid bill, which also provides assistance for Israel and Taiwan, was approved in a 70-29 vote, exceeding the chamber’s 60-vote threshold for passage, and sent on to the House.

Volodymyr Zelensky, the Ukrainian president, said he was “grateful” to those US senators who supported the bill in a post on Twitter. “American assistance brings just peace in Ukraine closer and restores global stability, resulting in increased security and prosperity for all Americans and all the free world,” he said.

But before Joe Biden can sign the bill into law, it must first be voted for by the House of Representatives, where hard-line Republicans, swayed by Donald Trump, have faulted it for not including provisions to secure the US southern border.

Mike Johnson, the speaker of the house, said Monday night in a statement. “[In] the absence of having received any single border policy change from the Senate, the House will have to continue to work its own will on these important matters.
