Can “Anti-War” Become “Pro-Putin”?

On 3/29/2022, a user by the name of Andy Womack replied to my article “What Does It Mean To Be ‘Pro-Putin’?” with the following:

I am not pro-Putin, I am anti-war. I don’t think Ephrom Josine meant to present a black or white fallacy.

This just confused me, as nowhere in my article did I say those who were against the war between Ukraine and Russia as a point of principal were pro-Putin — although I did say they can have solutions that fall under that category. To speak personally, I am also incredibly anti-war — it was one of the first real political positions I formed — but I have not let that blind me to the reality of what is going on during this conflict.

However, Womack does reveal himself to be pro-Putin immediately after this point, writing:

Ukraine should have made serious concessions to Russia, even if it meant giving Putin what he wanted.

This is an opinion I would call pro-Putin, because you are basically saying that Putin should get his way and that the odes should be on Ukraine to appease him and not on him to not invade them. You are shifting the blame away from Putin, the country with a large military that has invaded another nation, to the small nation which has been invaded.
