Putin könnte UK in Total Blackout eintauchen, es sei denn, Unterwasserkabel sind geschützt

Britain risks being plunged into darkness with its communication networks and power supplies crippled unless ministers act to [protect the UK’s undersea cable infrastructure from a Russian attack](https://inews.co.uk/news/world/russian-undersea-hybrid-warfare-threat-uk-ex-army-officer-3009960?srsltid=AfmBOoqm316Ws-yLDPegk-xA2v65NrPG05ah3jrw9MrqK6OZqBWoosGo&ico=in-line_link), marine industry experts have warned.
