Dobrindt made these remarks at a press conference on Wednesday evening. Handelsblatt's Hauptstadt correspondent Frank Specht discussed the possibility of a connection to Russia and how Germany prepares for such attacks in his podcast. \"We saw in Berlin how quickly the power supply can collapse if just one cable is cut, which is relatively open in the landscape,\" Specht stated.",
