Yes, the same agreement that Ukraine agreed to give the Donbas more autonomy. The Ukrainian parliament never passed the legislation it was obligated to do so. We now know that the Ukrainians and their allies were not operating in good faith. They signed the agreement to buy time so Ukraine could arm itself.

Former German Chancellor Merkel admits the Minsk agreement was merely to buy time for Ukraine’s arms build-up

An often repeated lie. Ukraine actually passed laws granting a special autonomous status to Donbas twice, in 2015 and 2019 :

Ukraine parliament offers special status for rebel east, Russia criticizes

Ukraine extends 'special status' for conflict-hit regions

It is the Russians who have not lived up to the Minsk agreements.
