They invaded at the same time. That's what "alongside" means here.
The alternative was for the nazis to roll all the way across poland — the only barrier between nazi germany and the soviet union — and subject the entire country to the holocaust instead of half of it, at a moment when the polish government had already fled and the country was not capable of repelling the nazis.
Man what a dumb take - they wanted a barrier from the nazis so decided to move their border closer.
So when they rounded up and murdered the polish intelligentsia, that was to stop the nazis yeah?
...further away from their capital and all their cities and infrastructure?
I notice you ignored the part where the USSR murdered an estimated 65,000 poles.
