No. When Soviet troops entered eastern Poland on September 17th 1939, the Polish state had already collapsed. The government fled to Romania September 15th. Warsaw was already burning. The army was broken. The lands the USSR moved into were also not Poland proper but territories Poland had seized and occupied by force in 1919-1921 from Belarus, Ukraine, and Lithuania. Moving in to secure this land saved millions from extermination.
