It's not only the inflation, it's also things like food shortages on shelves, a shrinking economy, decreased labour force etc.

I'm figuring this from the reporting of the BBC, Guardian etc

Fair enough, I was only thinking about inflation resulting from the war. You are right about the other things, and Brexit is undoubtedly a factor there.
