It was done mostly from 1944 onwards, when the Germans had already been defeated in the east front. A huge majority of the German war effort was spent on the east. The US and UK landing in Europe surely sped up things, but the Soviet Union had already won.

I have no sympathy for the current Russian regime, but claiming they weren’t responsible for winning WW2 screams American propaganda.

Overlooking the US's enormous military to aid the USSR screams a different sort of propaganda. Meanwhile, gestures at the Pacific theater.
