Fingers crossed it’s option (a) and (relative) peace is restored by May/June.

Looking ahead to the next date that NH212 is scheduled to operate 16th March, they’re still projecting circa 11h50m on flight time!

I know that this emergency, along with covid, have been unforeseen. But, they have been ongoing for some time now.

I would have thought that with 6 days before departure that NH would already have amended the departure/arrival times to allow for routing amendment - or, have cancelled the flight already…. Unless they are planning to continue as scheduled and fly over Russian airspace.
