BRICS is expanding, adding new partners, speaking of justice and international law, but at the same time refusing to condemn Russia’s aggression against Ukraine. Economically, BRICS is trying to build an alternative financial system, free of the Western influence. With how the Trump administration is behaving, that makes sense, but I also think that, in some way, BRICS is a success of Russian propaganda and of authoritarian-leaning countries over democracy-leaning ones.
Still, for something allegedly so big and powerful, it seems to me that BRICS was stillborn. It includes countries that are so different from each other, that there's very little room for statements and decisions they'd all be on board with.

I am in no way supporting Russia's invasion of Ukraine because nobody deserves to die. Each time I see the suffering that innocent citizens have been subjected to because of these wars, I am pained and feel sorry for them. But we would have to balance our position to avoid hypocrisy. Has NATO ever criticized the genocide in Gaza? Are citizens of Ukraine more human than Palestinians? NATO is simply a puppet of the US and its partners
