I am planning a trip to Italy, France and Netherlands this September. The flights and hotels are booked (partially cancellable). However, given the ongoing geopolitical instability (with implications of flight delays, inflation, fuel shortage, etc.) we are wondering if we should proceed with our visa application process or cancel the trip until the situation is more stable. "Wait and watch" approach may not work the best at this point as it might be too late , if at all we have to cancel within the required time period.
