The Russians are providing cover by losing one of their biggest pawns. They are seriously afraid their puppet will fall.

the dictator of destitute and impoverished No Korea, is a huge status coup for Kim Jong-Un. Now, at last, he is getting the recognition and prestige he believes that he is entitled to as a member of the nuclear club. He will see Trump as frightened by his weapons capabilities and impressed with his military displays on parade.

Trump is likely flattered by having a tyrant (he really does admire those men) ask for a face to face meeting, and he'll eagerly sell out the country for a little praise.

He'll lure Trump to an "agreement" on Nukes, de-militarize the peninsula, etc. But knows full well it won't happen. But he can use it as a club in future negotiations and state "I made progress with your President Trump! And you through it away, yadda yadda"
