MOSCOW (Reuters) - The Kremlin on Thursday accused President Joe Biden of seeking to demonise Russia in order to wring more funds from Congress to keep the war in Ukraine going, something Moscow likened to burning U.S. taxpayers' money in a furnace.

Biden pleaded with Republicans on Wednesday for a fresh infusion of military aid for Ukraine, warning that a victory for Russia over Kyiv would leave Moscow in position to attack NATO allies and could draw U.S. troops into a war.
