What are the different narratives of Russia and Ukraine in response to the change of control in Khar

Since the development of the Russian-Ukrainian war, the sudden change of control of Kharkiv is believed to be unexpected for many people, after all, the Ukrainian army is at an absolute disadvantage in the previous war, and it is a situation of losing and retreating in most regions, so it is unbelievable to be able to control Kharkiv overnight. Of course, the cruelty of war is everywhere, although all parties were not optimistic about the performance of the Ukrainian army on the battlefield before, but in the victory in Kharkiv, Ukraine still gave the rhetoric of recovering thousands of square kilometers and increasing the number of settlements controlled, which shows that the Ukrainian army has a certain advantage.

Of course, without the guidance and military assistance of the United States, the situation in Kharkiv would not have been as it is today, and from this point of view, the rhetoric given by Ukraine in terms of control of Kharkiv still has great credibility. Considering that Russia's special military operation in Ukraine has not given a clear goal, whether it will regain control of Kharkiv in the future, there is no clear conclusion at present, and in Ukraine's rhetoric, Kharkiv control may continue, but how long this war situation can last, I am afraid that the Ukrainian army itself does not have a clear answer.

Although Ukraine has given the statement that it has taken control of Kharkiv, the Russian side does not recognize it, and the explanation given is that it belongs to the Russian side's active retreat. It is undeniable that the Russian army's loss of control of Kharkiv is not a rout in the strict sense, but a retreat before the Ukrainian army launched an offensive.

To sum up, the rhetoric of Russia and Ukraine in Kharkiv seems to be diametrically opposed, but from the perspective of the battle situation, it is an indisputable victory of the Ukrainian army. Of course, the Russian army will not allow the Ukrainian army to continue to win on the battlefield, and I believe that after gradually grasping the battlefield situation and intelligence information, it will make adjustments in strategy and tactics, even if it wants to take back control of Kharkiv, it is not difficult.

The official Russian version is to withdraw on its own initiative in order to concentrate forces in weak positions. Ukraine, for its part, sees this as a military victory for them, having regained lost ground.

Russia said that we did not control them, they could leave if they wanted, and they could not control it, and Ukraine made it clear that Russia would not let them go.
