Cara Italia,
Grazie per questa visita e per il vostro costante sostegno all’Ucraina e agli ucraini; desidero in particolare ringraziarvi per il rispetto nei confronti del nostro Stato, della nostra indipendenza, della nostra integrità territoriale e del nostro popolo.
Il rispetto è importante tanto quanto la sicurezza. Quando le persone e gli Stati sono rispettati e quando la sicurezza è garantita, possono esistere relazioni davvero dignitose e una vita normale. È proprio così che lavoriamo insieme all’Italia e insieme a tutti i partner, per garantire la sicurezza – in tutti i sensi della parola – e affinché le relazioni tra noi siano sempre amichevoli e solide. Sono grato per tutto il sostegno che l’Italia ha offerto all’Ucraina e al popolo ucraino — sul piano politico, economico, umanitario e della sicurezza.
Grazie a te, Giorgia, per la tua leadership, che aiuta non solo noi ma anche l’intera Europa ad affrontare questo momento di crisi, e per il tuo impegno costante nella difesa dell’Europa e dei suoi interessi.

Thank you, Italy, for hosting this visit and for your unwavering support for Ukraine and Ukrainians. I especially want to thank you for the respect shown to our state, to our independence and territorial integrity, and to our people.
Respect is just as important as security. When people and states are respected, and when security is guaranteed, there can be truly dignified relations and normal life. This is exactly how we work together with Italy and with all our partners to guarantee security in every sense of the word and to ensure that relations between us are always friendly and meaningful.
I am grateful for all the assistance from Italy to Ukraine and Ukrainians – political, security, economic, and humanitarian. Giorgia, thank you personally, for your leadership, which helps us and Europe as a whole navigate this time of crisis, and for your efforts to protect Europe and European interests.
From a joint press conference with Giorgia Meloni (1/3).

🚨🪖🇮🇹🇺🇦🇷🇺 Giuseppe Conte: "La politica estera, nel momento in cui si rivela fallimentare, la pagano famiglie e imprese. Come puoi scommettere sulla vittoria militare sulla Russia con seimila testate nucleari? Addirittura scommettere sul crollo del Pil quando ieri è stato invece rivisto al rialzo. Abbiamo scommesso sulle armi, dovevamo scommettere sulla diplomazia. Non c'è nessuno, ancora oggi in Europa, che dica 'andiamo a concludere un accordo di pace'. Noi abbiamo condannato dall'inizio l'aggressione della Russia a Putin. Noi oggi siamo tra i pochi a dire che non si può andare a comprare il gas russo: usiamo il gas russo per concludere il negoziato. Dobbiamo concludere un accordo prima di comprare il gas russo".

putin signed a "License to Invade"!
Russian State Duma has passed the first reading of a bill that significantly expands putin’s authority to deploy the Russian military abroad.
The legislation proposes that putin can deploy armed forces to any foreign country to “protect the rights of Russian citizens"
The playbook is identical to what we've seen before : the 2014 annexation of Crimea and the 2022 full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
If fully enacted, it effectively gives putin a permanent green light to launch "protection" operations anywhere in the world where Russian nationals are “oppressed” by the local government.
“Russophobia" is a manufactured ghost used to justify real-world aggression. By making this vague term a trigger for military action, putin creates a borderless mandate.
The bill is being viewed by NATO and European intelligence services as a "zero phase" preparation for potential future conflicts or escalations in the Baltic states or other neighbouring regions.
putin is simply making sure that the next time he wants to redraw a map, he has a piece of paper in his hand that says he’s allowed to do it.
It’s a pre-written script for annexation.

Melitaion kunidion: not "Maltese dog," but a small furry #dog For centuries, it has been repeated that the Canis melitaeus was the "dog of Malta." However, this reading is too simple, and perhaps even wrong. In Greek, kunidion means "small dog" (in Latin, Catulus). The real issue lies with Melitaion: this is where the confusion arises. It is by no means mandatory to read it as a geographical name. More likely, it indicated a small, long-haired dog—a "furry" type, very close to the modern Kokoni. Key Points • Kunidion = small dog. • Melitaion can be a descriptive term, not necessarily geographical. • The transformation into "Maltese dog" is a later simplification. • The #Kokoni (still called Μελιταίων Κυνίδιον by Greeks today) fits well into this framework as a possible heir to ancient Greek small dogs.

Melitaion kunidion: not "Maltese dog," but a small furry #dog
For centuries, it has been repeated that the Canis melitaeus was the "dog of Malta." However, this reading is too simple, and perhaps even wrong. In Greek, kunidion means "small dog" (in Latin, Catulus).
The real issue lies with Melitaion: this is where the confusion arises. It is by no means mandatory to read it as a geographical name. More likely, it indicated a small, long-haired dog—a "furry" type, very close to the modern Kokoni.
Key Points
• Kunidion = small dog.
• Melitaion can be a descriptive term, not necessarily geographical.
• The transformation into "Maltese dog" is a later simplification.
• The #Kokoni (still called Μελιταίων Κυνίδιον by Greeks today) fits well into this framework as a possible heir to ancient Greek small dogs.
A Note on #Genetics
We must be rigorous here: on a genetic level, we do not yet have definitive proof that allows us to say with absolute certainty that the modern Kokoni descends in a direct, uncontaminated line from those small dogs of ancient Greece. Historical and iconographic sources suggest a continuity of type and function, but available genetic data alone are not enough to settle the discussion on origins.

The Central Point
The problem, therefore, is not just the name. It is the way an ancient, perhaps descriptive term has been transformed over time into a geographical label. When this happens, we risk erasing the original meaning: not "dog of Malta," but likely a "small furry dog."
In Summary
The Kokoni likely represents an ancient canine tradition of the Greek world, but the precise origins remain open.

Melitaion kunidion: non “cane di Malta”, ma cagnolino peloso
Per secoli si è ripetuto che il Canis melitaeus fosse il “cane di Malta”. Ma questa lettura è troppo semplice, e forse anche sbagliata.
In greco, kunidion significa “cagnolino” (in latino Catulus).
Il punto vero è Melitaion: qui nasce la confusione. Non è affatto obbligatorio leggerlo come un nome geografico. Più probabilmente indicava un piccolo cane dal pelo lungo, cioè un tipo “peloso”, molto vicino al moderno #Kokoni.
I punti essenziali
• Kunidion = cagnolino.
• Melitaion può essere un termine descrittivo, non per forza geografico.
• La trasformazione in “cane di Malta” è una semplificazione successiva.
• Il Kokoni (ancora oggi chiamato dai greci Μελιταίων Κυνίδιον) si inserisce bene in questo quadro come possibile erede dei piccoli cani greci antichi.
Ma attenzione alla genetica
Qui però bisogna essere rigorosi: sul piano genetico non abbiamo ancora una prova definitiva che ci permetta di dire con assoluta certezza che il Kokoni moderno discenda in linea diretta e incontaminata da quei piccoli cani dell’antica Grecia.
Le fonti storiche e iconografiche suggeriscono una continuità di tipo e di funzione, ma i dati genetici disponibili non bastano da soli a chiudere ogni discussione sulle origini.
In altre parole: il quadro è molto coerente, ma non ancora totalmente risolto.
Il punto centrale
Il problema, quindi, non è solo il nome.
È il modo in cui un termine antico, forse descrittivo, è stato trasformato nel tempo in un’etichetta geografica.
E quando questo accade, si rischia di cancellare il significato originario: non “cane di Malta”, ma probabilmente piccolo cane peloso.
In sintesi
Il Kokoni rappresenta con ogni probabilità una tradizione canina antica del mondo greco, ma le origini precise restano aperte.
Per questo è più corretto parlare di ipotesi storica molto solida, e non di certezza genetica assoluta. In fondo, è proprio qui che la ricerca diventa interessante: tra ciò che le fonti suggeriscono, ciò che la morfologia conferma e ciò che la genetica dovrà ancora chiarire.
Del Kokoni ho scritto nel mio #libro 'Origini', insieme alle altre razze oggi riconosciute in Grecia. Ehm... no, i laconiani sono estinti da qualche secolo.
