There was neither a need nor a desire to do so. The main goal of the USSR was the destruction of Nazi Germany. That had been accomplished at that point.
Is that really true, though? I mean the Soviet Union did eventually start wars to gain territory in the following decades. It seems like they had been hit pretty hard by the war and wanted time to recover. The Soviets also had fighting with Japan to deal with, so I wonder how susceptible they were to an invasion of Eastern Europe.
