No, "we" did not, it is russian propaganda. And if we are talking about broken promises, there was this thing called Budapest Memorandum.

And the Minsk agreement, the charter of the UN, and a bunch of treaties signed within the Council of Europe that are supposed to safeguard self-determination and deter agression.

When the other party is painted as the enemy, tearing down treaties is seen as an act of national pride. See Germany with the Versailles “Diktat” and Trump with the Iran nuclear deal and Paris agreement.
