The encrypted messaging app Signal has stopped responding to requests from Ukrainian law enforcement regarding Russian cyberthreats, a Ukrainian official claimed, warning that the shift is aiding Moscow’s intelligence efforts.
Like another commenter here said, what did Signal do wrong in this case? We don’t want a third party to be able to see our encrypted messages, or to know who it is who is using the service. Which is desirable when I’m using it, but undesirable when an aggressor is using it. Unfortunately you can’t have one without the other.
Obviously Telegram is out, sadly Signal is also not exactly shining … where else is there to go though?

Matrix and Threema come to my mind.
Do people have success bringing their families and friends to Matrix? The Signal UI is closer to Whatsapp, which usually made the switch easier
Just gotta get rid of all your friends and family and then you can use any IM service. Very convenient.
I hear the latency is hard to beat too if you only talk to yourself.
I have brought my family to Threema and Signal (when Corona started). But Matrix would not work for them I fear.
