Dec 15 (Reuters) - Germany’s lower house of parliament suffered a major email outage on Monday in what officials suspect was a cyberattack during high-stakes U.S.-Ukraine talks hosted by Chancellor Friedrich Merz, the Financial Times reported on Monday.

Members of parliament were unable to access their email accounts for over four hours, the newspaper reported, citing three senior MPs.

Reuters could not immediately verify the report.
