Honestly don’t know the actual logic was there. Stalin did do a lot of questionable shit after the war though like abandoning Greece, which led to his falling out with Tito and breakdown of relations with Yugoslavia. Seems like he was really keen on honoring whatever deals he mad with the west at the end of the war for whatever reason.
But here is a thing Greece was let go because it was churchil who promised that Poland would be a buffer state or zone of influence if British gets Greece. The fall with Tito was for different reason , as I have read the conversation with Hoxha it seems Tito wanted to annex Albania to create greater Yugoslavia which Stalin negated. There got to be some reason why Stalin gave the green light to create Israel . Most right wing Muslims are mad because it was USSR who supported this Zionist project.

I’d be interested to know what the actual thinking there was as well.
