In another video, Ukrainian Brigadier General Dmytro Krasylnykov spoke about Bachmut and its importance for UA forces. Here is the short thread:

My translation:
"Regarding Bakhmut - I'm afraid to give any assessments, but I think that we should hold Bakhmut, Soledar, and Seversk. 3 cities on the map
Everything that was happening there probably allowed our soldiers and our units to conduct certain regroupings and strengthen the defense in these directions.
And considering that the enemy's fire advantage is no longer as dominant as it was before, I hope that we still manage to hold Bakhmut, Soledar, and Seversk.
Because the capture of any city of these three, say, Bakhmut and Seversk - opens the way to Sloviansk and Kramatorsk.
The capture of Bakhmut already threatens our Donetsk grouping because their attack on Kostyantynivka can encircle some units as our grouping in Toretska." Map of the region provided by ISW

Many of us have wondered why the battle for Severodonetsk was quite lengthy, but AFU could not hold that long in Lysychansk, which is on higher ground and across the river. Ukrainian Brigadier General Dmytro Krasylnykov about Lysychansk and morale of UA soldiers:
My translation:

"Unfortunately, it turned out that for some reason, everyone forgets the problem. I have always said that the main problem is not the top-down, not the altitude or the lowlands. The main problem is logistics and provision because you can be courageous. /1
You can be fearless. You can be super prepared, have three night-vision eyes, and all that. But what happened to Severodonetsk?
Three bridges that connected Lysychansk and Severodonetsk were destroyed. That is, any supply could have been conducted by what? /2
