It's already panned out for Putin.

Getting invited to U.S. territory to meet with the POTUS in a one-on-one summit is already a massive win for Putin. One of the ostensible sanctions against Russia has been diplomatic isolation. In an "ordinary" process, Putin would have been required to make some concessions just to be allowed to have a direct meeting with the POTUS. You don't get the privilege of having all the trappings of a head-of-state meeting with the Leader of the Free World, along with direct one-on-one access to POTUS, if you're still an international pariah.

Trump has never been one to realize when he's being taken advantage of, and this is no exception. He wanted the meeting, so he's giving Putin the meeting.
