So far, the precedents connected with refusal to the citizens of the Russian Federation and the CIS for obtaining Schengen visas in there was no connection with the events in Ukraine, everything is going on as usual.
Moreover, today the procedure for issuing a visa has become simpler, and the list of documents has become uniform for the entire Euro zone. There were also less unreasonable refusals to obtain an entry permit, as the consulates were obligated to argue for each specific case of refusal to issue a visa.
In addition, you can get a visa both through numerous companies offering their intermediary services for obtaining the Schengen, and independently , collecting the necessary package of documents. So, if you get a visa from any country in the European Union, you will still be able to travel all over Europe.
