This official Russian line is a complete lie. In 1939 USSR was allied with the Third Reich and the secret Molotov-Ribbentrop pact placed Finland into the Soviet hands. Germany refused to help Finland and blocked military aid to Finland during Winter War.

In fact the German Navy had a secret submarine base operating in the USSR during the Winter War. German military operations were done from Soviet soil as their ally.
