They are not enemies, but they aren't friends either.
Today Merkel and Putin are meeting today in order to discuss the construction of the gas pipeline Nordstream 2, which is to pass the Ukraine. The USA isn't amused about that project and wishes that it shouldn't come into existence.
Fun fact: Merkel and Putin can have a conversation in each other's language; Putin because of his stay in Dresden as a KGB agent in the 80s, and Merkel because the pupils (or as you say: students) in the GDR were taught Russian instead of English.
I think they are the only two non-anglophone leaders who speak the interlocutor's language fluently.
