A couple promises were broken, but this is incorrect. An association treaty (which wasn't even ratified) isn't the same as integration and IIRC the promises were actually about NATO expansion and Western troops in the former Warsaw Pact.

The only permanent Western troops presences in the former Warsaw pact that I know of are
* East Germany, which within limits was part of the agreement.
* Those two much criticized U.S. BMD installations
* the tiny air policing fighter flight NATO countries provide for the Baltic countries
* embassy-, liaison-, officer exchange- and intel-related personnel
