The text discusses the resumption of economic dialogue between German and Russian business leaders, highlights Germany as Russia's top trading partner in 2021, and notes German companies' satisfaction with business in Russia. It also mentions criticism from German political parties about the business delegation's attendance at an economic forum.
Upon evaluating the claims, mixed results were found. The claim that Germany was Russia's primary trading partner in 2021 lacks conclusive evidence, although Germany was identified as a key partner. The assertion regarding 1,600 German companies operating in Russia is reasonable, supported by evidence showing significant German business presence in Russia. The satisfaction claim lacks specific information and has been left unverified due to insufficient evidence. There is no confirmation found on 65% of German companies advocating for resumption of oil and gas imports from Russia, given the new trade patterns post-EU sanctions. Overall, the claims indicate a significant ongoing German business influence in Russia, but specifics on trade volumes and company sentiments require more robust data sources.

Economics
In 2021, Germany was Russia's primary trading partner with a transaction volume of €59.7 billion.
Evidence suggests that Germany was a key trading partner, but specific figures like €59.7 billion do not have direct support. No prominent fact-check resources explicitly confirm or deny this exact figure. However, Germany was noted as traditionally one of Russia's main partners.
