What country were those areas part of at the time of the invasion though. Weren’t those part of Poland and didn’t Germany and Soviet Union divide the area as agreed?
Ethnically they were Ukrainian and Lithuanian. They were governed by Poland, yes, and I never stated otherwise, but the Soviet Union and Nazis never agreed to “divide the area.” You keep pressing that by saying they implied it, but have produced no evidence for it nor why they would want to.
Soviet Union and Nazis never agreed to “divide the area.”
Secret protocol, article 2
In the event of a territorial and political rearrangement of the areas belonging to the Polish state the spheres of influence of Germany and the U.S.S.R. shall be bounded approximately by the line of the rivers Narew, Vistula, and San. ’
These aren’t implications, these are very clear cut. The “in the event of a territorial and political rearrangement” is the implied invasion. The dividing the area is just in plain language.
No, they agreed to spheres of influence. It’s one thing to agree that, in a coming war, neither party will cross said lines, and it’s another entirely to make that a binding agreement to invade all of Europe together. You jumped from point A not to B, but to Z, making up a bunch of assumptions that have no logical basis in between.
They divided Europe into those spheres of influence, resulting in Germans taking over parts of Poland, Soviet Union taking over Baltics, parts of Poland, Bessarabia, areas such as those given to it in the pact.
But that’s what they ended up doing. Tsundere invasion.
Sure, after the Nazis had toppled the Polish state and the Nazis were stepping into modern Ukraine and Lithuania against the pact.

It’s quite clear-cut that there’s nothing in there supporting a Soviet desire for invasion.
It’s in reply to that.
