Add to that the fact that the Soviets had no interest in "liberating" the Nazi-occupied countries of Europe. They just wanted to beat the Nazis and take Germany - and they would've taken as much of continental Europe as possible, too.

No, I agree with your first point, the second isn't correct. The Germans spent most of their efforts on the Eastern Front, while the Japanese were always a bit worried that Russia would open another front?

The Germans did bleed in the East and this was what helped end the war
