In other words, win in Bakhmut so that you don't have to fight another Bakhmut?
I think the difference in World War II is that it was a fight for Soviet survival, whereas Ukraine is a war of choice.

Soledar is about five miles Northeast of Bakhmut, and I think Russian control would leave Bakhmut surrounded on three sides (and the road out vulnerable to Russian attack)
