Territorial issues were sorted out: the Lublin Voivodeship and the eastern part of the

Warsaw Voivodeship - the territories which, according to the provisions of the

Ribbentrop-Molotov Pact, were to be included in the Soviet sphere of influence, were
transferred to the German zone, and to compensate the USSR for this loss, a secret
protocol to the treaty transferred Lithuania to the zone Soviet influence. After the USSR
ultimatum of June 14, 1940 and the occupation of Lithuania by the Red Army the
following day, it was annexed by the USSR on August 3, 1940 in the form of the
Lithuanian SSR, together with Latvia and Estonia. At Stalin's request, Hitler had to
abandon the concept of establishing a residual Polish state in the occupied territories,
and the parties, contrary to international law (Hague Convention IV of 1907) [3],
delimited the German-Soviet border on the military-occupied territory of Poland. The
signatories envisaged the procedure of exchanging the population of German,
Belarusian and Ukrainian nationalities between the occupied territories, on an optional
basis.

Another secret protocol dealt with the Polish question and proclaimed that both sides
would not tolerate any Polish propaganda on their territory concerning the territory of
the other party. They will suppress any beginnings of such propaganda in their
territories and inform each other of the appropriate measures to that end. This became
the basis for mutual cooperation between the secret services of both countries, which at
the turn of 1939 and 1940 took the form of four joint Gestapo-NKVD Conferences.
