They can literally read your messages by default lol

For now. Facebook has said that they plan to disable end-to-end encryption in WhatsApp at some point, so that you can receive messages from people using Facebook Messenger.

This gets even better: WA listened to Putin and did not enable channels because it is popular among 40+ and teachers.

Any FSB agent can connect any whatsapp message to person who wrote it.

That's just plain wrong.

Whatsapp is using the Signal Protocol.

To read your messages they need to get your phone. And now even your Backups are encrypted, so they can't read your Messages from there.
