WinFastOrRuZZia,
Soledar is important because it contains the entrance to 124 miles of underground tunnels in the salt mines. Russia believes Ukraine is storing weapons and ammo in those tunnels and resupplies itself from these stockpiles.
The tunnels are useful for defending the city, but Soledar isn't a major resupply hub for Ukraine. It'd be stupid to concentrate a huge cache of weapons and supplies in one network of tunnels.

To borrow a phrase from RuZZian propaganda, "Bakhmut has always been the goal." Taking Soledar is one step toward partially encircling Bakhmut and cutting off its defenders from resupply.

The "cauldron" tactics being employed on both sides is what happens when neither side has any air superiority. Same with RuZZia's dependence on WWI-style trench warfare.

Ukraine unfortunately is fighting exactly the kind of war that RuZZia wants to fight, but even that isn't really a long-term winning strategy for RuZZia.
