Putin terribly wished a meeting with Trump?

Explain, good people, this is a contradiction: the Russian official media curses America in all mortal sins: the USA is a world gendarme; The "hand" of the State Department is terrible and penetrating everywhere; Sanctions against Russia are an impudent challenge ... and nevertheless, judging by the situation on the APEC forum in Vietnam, did Putin terribly wanted a meeting with Trump?

The fact that it did not take place because of the “lack of significant grounds for this meeting”, Lavrov enjoyed so that he could not hide it in front of journalists. As for Putin, only the iron excerpt of the former Servant of the FSB helped him hide his indignation.

So the questions arise: what are these games between Trump and the consciousness of Russian society, which is inspired that the United States is our enemy No. 1? Why, then, is the Kremlin in front of Trump?
