That breaks down all of Iraq's foreign obligations. Russia has a decent chunk of debt--$12 billion in principal and interest on top of that if I'm reading the charts correctly--and even more in pending business, but France only has a piddly $73 million in pending business. Germany doesn't hold debt or have business with Iraq.
The biggest foreign obligations against Iraq are unsettled claims from the Gulf War.
I don't know how authoritative these figures are. They may just be a best guess
