KYIV, UKRAINE—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. That includes sending hundreds of military and police trainers, as well as helping Ukraine crack down on corruption. 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.
