They did not. What actually happened is that the Soviets agreed to allow a reunified Germany to remain in NATO, provided they were “consulted” on future expansion. There was never any concrete promise that NATO would not expand. Not only that, but there was never an actual effort in Ukraine to join NATO!!

This is the problem, you people are so hopelessly ignorant of history, yet you’ve managed to convince yourselves that you know what’s really going on. And besides, Russia is the one that ACTUALLY broke treaties, the major ones being the Budapest memorandum and Minsk accords, not to mention being the one that’s actually fucking invading other countries. You’ve got a lot to learn

NATO expansion occurred in response to Russian aggression, not the other way around. Russia attacked or occupied Moldova, Georgia, Ukraine twice, slaughtered civilians in Chechnya, backed a brutal dictator in Syria, constantly conducts assassinations, cyberattacks, and sabotage across Europe, and you’re crying because countries want to join NATO? Tell me, why do these countries request to join NATO if Russia isn’t a threat?

NATO did expand before Russia was aggressive though, violating the agreement made between the old Soviet leaders and the west while the collapse of the Soviet sphere was underway. Either way, geopolitics rarely cares about who was aggressive first, its all about national interests
