More Ukrainians should also look into the Matrix protocol as it is end to end encrypted, the service is decentralized and the company that is behind the protocol is based on the UK.

The app element is good app to get started.

Ukraine could have multiple matrix servers for everyone to use.

5 for civilians. 8 for military branches and 3 for government.

polish MoD has siloed matrix instance that they use for their own communications, with their own client. it's e2ee but not for classified information

Damn that’s great inspiration!

Is there a reason for it not being e2ee for classified information?

behold this pixellated screencap:
