I miss Tony a lot, but I don\u2019t want to cry over Tony anymore.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I feel as comfortable as I can be while the Russians are in my country. . .

But the romance turned cold after a series of arguments which he said were caused by her drinking strong beer and throwing temper tantrums. Mr Garnett is pictured at the airport on Monday<\/p>\n<p>\u2018But I was scared when I arrived in Lviv because an alarm went off at the train station. And people thought there maybe some sort of attack by the Russians.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I can feel that my country is in depression because of the war and everything that is going on globally.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018When I was on the bus I saw the funeral of a soldier. I began to cry again when I saw that. It really brought it back to me of what is going on here. Ukrainians are being murdered and our soldiers are being as brave as any.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018My grandmother, who is an artist, cooked for me my favourite buckwheat and meat chops and has given me so much love.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>She said she would be spending a week with her grandmother before travelling to Kyiv to meet her mother and sister.<\/p>\n<p>But she added : \u2018People are saying here that Russia is soon going to attack government buildings in Kyiv and my grandmother is scared about my trip to Kyiv and saying that I should call my mother here instead.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2022\/10\/05\/16\/63069247-11283891-image-a-35_1664983446239.jpg\" height=\"737\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>The now ex-lovers struck up an affair 10 days after she arrived at the home of Mr Garnett (left) and his partner Lorna Garnett (right).

The former couple are pictured together<\/p>\n<p>\u2018The situation here is not positive. People who say that half of Ukraine is safe, have no real idea about that and cannot be sure. It is dangerous and uncertainty is everywhere.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Sofiia and Tony went through an acrimonious break-up after a four-month relationship.<\/p>\n<p>Sofiia was arrested twice at the rented house they shared in Bradford, West Yorkshire.<\/p>\n<p>On the first occasion she was detained after Mr Garnett alleged she had rammed a knife into a kitchen wall while drunk. She was held a second time after turning up at his address again despite police warnings to keep away.<\/p>\n<p>But after Tony, 30, told police he did not want to see her charged, she was released.<\/p>\n<p>She said she and her ex-boyfriend are on better terms and she hoped they could renew their relationship when she returns to the UK.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I love him and I am happy that everything has calmed down and we are talking again<\/p>\n<p>\u2018He is a very nice man. If he didn\u2019t care for me, then he would not have taken me to the airport and made sure that I got on the plane safely.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Relationships are very hard work. It\u2019s not just about showing your friends how handsome your boyfriend is.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018There was a lot going on behind what people saw. We were going through public judgements and pressures, some manipulation from his ex partner and he wasn\u2019t allowed to see or call his children for three months.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Sofiia, who said she had her jaw broken by a previous boyfriend in Ukraine, claimed that memory combined with the horror of seeing her country invaded together badly affected her.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I had some symptoms of PTSD after everything what happened in my past. It was also hard for me to get used to a different country and language.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Sofiia, who has a BSC degree in computer science, added : \u2018All of this caused arguments between us over the last month. I think now that Tony and I have the time and space to think about everything maybe we can understand how important we were for each other just when we lost it.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Tony told MailOnline today at his home in Bradford: \u2018 I don\u2019t really want to say anything more about Sofiia. I can tell you I\u2019m glad that Sophia is safe back in Ukraine. We are still mates. And it will be good to see her again if and when she comes back.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/article-11283891\/Ukrainian-refugee-dumped-British-lover-left-partner-happy-home.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>EXCLUSIVE &#8216;My country needs peace and so<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":164872,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[23056],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Ukrainian refugee dumped by her British lover &amp;apos;happy to be home&amp;apos;
