The Russians will be unable to advance, whether with vehicles or infantry, and their logistics will be limited to good roads. The Russian artillery will find it difficult to resupply as well, or to displace.

The Russians don't have to advance in Bakhmut. They are already there. Russian supplies will come in via Russian controlled territory. Ukranian resupply will also have to come in via Russian controlled territory. Roads controlled byu the enemy are never good roads. Bakhmut will just sit there and be pounded by artillery. The mud may slow advances elsewhere, but I fail to see how it does much for Bakhmut. It is a stationary target that is not going anywhere.
