From Russia's perspective, the devil it knows (Bakhmut) is likely to be less unfavorable than the ones it doesn't know.

Not only that, but most of the troops attacking in Bakhmut are Wagner, nor Russian Army. The High Command has only limited control over what Wagner does. Similarly, Wagner doesn't have its own organic transport and supply system. It has to rely on the Russian Army. For that reason, moving Wagner anywhere else is undoubtedly a much trickier proposition than regular military would be. They may have little choice but to stay there and attack.
