But these are February figures, Russia's invasion of Ukraine began with just four days left in that month.
From Fox News:
Inflation hit a fresh 40-year high in February, largely driven by higher gas prices.
The consumer price index climbed 7.9% on an annual basis, according to data released on Thursday by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Month-over-month, inflation rose 0.8%. The year-over-year reading is in-line with estimates and compares with an annual 7.5% jump in January, marking the fastest increase since February 1982, when inflation hit 7.6%.
