No, you were wrong here, they didn't have a defense pact and got dragged into the war in exchange for goods. Maybe you can point at some pre-existing defense pact to support your claims signed before the war but I'm not aware of any existing. It's possible that I missed it though but given that Putin flew in there when the situation got worse to negotiate their war support, I doubt they had one.
