| #2 "Reaching a solution to the ongoing dispute is pertinent for the Germans as Russia is their single biggest trading partner." This statement is BS. Russia is not among the top 10 ten trading partners wrt exports. Russia is Germany's 7th largest trading partner wrt imports, behind the UK and barely in front of Belgium, Switzerland and Austria. See this and this. |
