BRICS is not a trade agreement, lol. It's like the G groupings such as G20 and G7, who just convene and talk but have little to no substantive legal weight. Some members may have trade agreements with each other, but not everyone trade each other with the same rules under BRICS, unlike Mercosur or the EU that are objectively economic bloc with legally binding rules. Because BRICS is neither a treaty organisation that have shared sovereignty, like the EU, nor a military alliance like the NATO. Brazil is even indifferent to Russian invasion of Ukraine, while China is not providing arms to Russia but provides limited finance. How does BRICS sound like an alliance to you? Show me the charter stating they're a formal alliance or an economic bloc.

I’m not saying that Ukraine shouldn’t have formed its independence, I’m simply trying to educate you on geopolitics I also don’t support the invasion of Ukraine at all, something you decided to makeup for some reason

You know what they say: it's more like what is not said than what is said. It's very telling though that your vocal criticism is more directed to Ukraine and US, but there is no explicit and equal criticism of Russia. I've seen this play out with by pseudo-centrist nonsense serving Russian propaganda (or to any other authoritarian countries). Criticise US for using Ukraine, but faux centrists never or say little anything about Russia fomenting Russian-separatism. It's very suspicious that, somehow, countries that are non-NATO and have substantial Russian-speakers have separatist sentiment. Meanwhile, NATO-members with many Russian-speakers aren't getting separatist sentiment. Coincidence? You tell me.

I only see Ukraine coming out ahead if it cedes land to Russia.

And this presents the problem that encouraging to do so, you're enabling the UN charter to uphold national sovereignty and respecting another country's border to be completely thrown away. This is the problem with ill-informed centrist view on the war in Ukraine, if it's not a vatnik or troll take. Just ignore the legalities. Assuming you're an American, if in a hypothetical scenario Texas was invaded by Mexico as they used to own it, and that part was having trouble to be retaken by your army, would you say to just throw in the towel? Ignore the national sovereignty? US and Mexico signed treaty to cede Texas to US. Ukraine and Russia signed treaty to respect each other's independence. You will allow all the legal proceedings to be completely quashed? Enabling to set precedence to illegal invasions?
