"No one is delaying anything here," Peskov told reporters in Moscow.

"We are naturally in favor of achieving the goals that we are trying to achieve through the special military operation via political and diplomatic means. Therefore, we are not interested in drawing out anything."

Peskov noted that the dates of the third round of talks still needed to be agreed.
