The sharp rise in inflation predates any kind of energy crisis. Inflation kicked off in 2021.

Energy didn't become a major issue until Ukraine was invaded.
Inflation was triggered by all the money printed during COVID getting into the economy once it opened up again.
There's also a shortage of workers in most developed countries too, which means that any labour used to provide luxuries directly impacts the amount available to produce the basic necessaties like housing and healthcare as well.
