If you mean the invasion in World War II under the Nazi-Soviet pact, it was certainly not because Poland was "weak." Poland had just defeated the Soviets in the Polish-Soviet War in 1919-1920. Instead, the Soviets, along with the Germans, wished to destroy all ethnic Poles. Stalin also held a grudge against the Polish for his court-martial after the Polish-Soviet war. The Soviets were responsible for nearly as many deaths as the Germans, and they didn't respect the rights of POWs.
