The International Fencing Federation (FIE) also said it was reinstating Kharlan, allowing her to take part in the team competition at the world championships in Milan.
Emmanuel Katsiadakis, the Greek president of the FIE, said the decision had been taken "after consultation with the International Olympic Committee".
Kharlan, the first fencer to face a Russian or Belarusian since the former's invasion of Ukraine, won 15-7 against Russia's Anna Smirnova on Thursday.
The 32-year-old four-time Olympic medallist refused Smirnova's handshake afterwards, instead offering her sabre to tap blades, but FIE rules state that the two fencers must shake hands.
Smirnova staged a 45-minute protest and refused to leave the competition strip.
Kharlan was disqualified, claiming afterwards that Emmanuel Katsiadakis, the Greek president of the FIE, had even assured her that it was "possible" not to shake hands and offer a touch of her blade instead following her victory.
"I thought I had his word, to be safe, but apparently, no," Kharlan said.
In response to her disqualification, the International Olympic Committee called for Ukrainian athletes to be treated "sensitively".
Then on Friday, IOC President Thomas Bach, a former Olympic fencer himself, sent Kharlan a letter saying she would be guaranteed a place at next year's Olympics in Paris regardless of whether she gained the qualification points.
It is really insensitive and anti-feminist to make rape comparisons because you can't find less charged rhetoric to use. Most women experience sexual violence and something like 1/6 of of all women have ptsd on that account, it is very inconsiderate.
Considering how many Ukranian women and children are being literally raped by the Russian invaders, I'd say the comparison is plenty apt!
Your concern trolling is the thing that's insensitive and inconsiderate.
And that has to do with this one woman competitor how? Did she sign off on the invasion?
No?
Then don't compare her being there to a rapist.
