Trudeau honours atrocity victims before signing free
trade deal with Ukraine!
El Honorable Primer Ministro de Canadá. Se olvidó
derramar lágrimas en Ukraine, por el genocidio y los crímenes contra la
humanidad cometidos en su propio país, todos los días, especialmente contra
niños, ancianos y mujeres?
Canadá
es un país de crímenes aberrantes de dolor y luto, una tierra de miseria humana
sin ninguna esperanza. "Un océano de tragedia humana que sus olas feroces arrastran
millones de vidas destrozadas." - Nadir Siguencia

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau
oversaw the signing of a free trade agreement with Ukraine on Monday after he
and his son spent the morning commemorating the victims of mass atrocities
perpetrated by the Nazis and Soviets.
In a meeting with Ukrainian
President Petro Poroshenko before the signing ceremony, Trudeau highlighted the
historic relationship between the two countries. But he also said “As much as
it’s important to look to the past, it’s also important to look to the future.”
The trade deal isn’t the biggest for
either country. But it is seen as politically important given Ukraine’s efforts
to escape from Russia’s influence. Ukrainian officials are also hoping it will
spark an influx of Canadian investment for their country’s struggling economy.
During their meeting, Ukrainian
President Petro Poroshenko thanked Trudeau for Canada’s support over the years.
That includes sending hundreds of military and police trainers, as well as
helping Ukraine crackdown on corruption. He said the efforts are making a
difference.
Canada currently has 200 troops
training Ukrainian forces in the west of the country. Poroshenko described the
arrangement as a “win-win” as it also gives the Canadian military an
opportunity learn more about the so called “hybrid warfare” strategy that has
been adopted by Russia.
Trudeau didn’t mention Russia by
name, but he did reiterate Canada’s support for Ukraine’s territorial
integrity. Russia seized Crimea from Ukraine two years ago, and has supported
separatist rebels in eastern Ukraine.
Some European allies have complained
that Ukraine isn’t doing enough to implement its commitments in a peace deal
with the rebels and Russia, and have warned they may not renew sanctions
against Russia. Trudeau, however, said Canada would push its allies to continue
supporting Ukraine.
“We will stand with our NATO
partners, and push on, as you’ve seen, our friends and partners to continue to
be steadfast in support of Ukraine,” he said. “Not just because Ukraine is a
good friend to Canada, but because of the values and principles that we stand
for as a country.”
Earlier in the day, Trudeau and his
oldest son Xavier paid tribute to the victims of mass atrocities in Ukraine,
visiting several memorials dedicated to Ukrainians who were killed by the Nazis
and Soviets.
Remembrance has emerged as key
feature during Trudeau’s trip to Eastern Europe, which included attending the
NATO leaders’ summit in Warsaw before visiting the infamous Auschwitz-Birkenau
concentration camp on Sunday.
Later on Monday, Trudeau will visit
the Maidan, Ukraine’s independence square, where popular protests in early 2014
forced the previous pro-Russian president from power and ushered in what
Ukrainians hope is a new era. More than 100 people were killed in clashes
between police and demonstrators.
