Ukraine's attrition rate dropped significantly at this point, possibly as low as 1:2 - 1:1 in Ukraine's favor at some point during February-March. I do suspect these numbers apply for the fighting in the city, and not surrounding areas.

The envelopment of Bakhmut was preformed by Wagner and RU VDV units which are considered "storm" units which RuAF use for attacks. These units are better trained than the regular mechanized infantry.

Ukraine attempted some what could be summarized as unsuccessful counter attacks against the VDV units on the Bakhmut flanks in March and did not managed to reverse the RU progress.

At some point during this point, most likely after RuAF attacks stagnated on the flanks, RuAF moved Wagner from the flanks in to the city and replaced the VDV on the flanks with poorly trained units from the 3rd Army Corps, 200th MRB and 4th MRB.

This was noticed by the AFU who a few weeks saw their chance to do a local counter attack using 3rd Assault Brigade. AFU has managed to push RuAF behind down from the T0504 road and to the east of the water canal and are closing in on Klishchiivka.

While Bakhmut city is certainly lost (more or less), I think AFU could be in a good position if they regained some more ground in the north and a little bit of ground in the south.

With a straightened frontline like this, they could utilize counter battery and start shooting fish in the Bakhmut barrel. Something like this is what I thought they should do back in February.

RuAF keep committing units to Bakhmut and it's possible we will see them withdraw Wagner units and send in regular infantry, BARS etc. in Bakhmut. This is also why continued attacks on the flanks are needed from the AFU to force RuAF to commit troop.

This will enable the AFU to set up for an offensive in other directions with the units dedicated for the purposes. Ukraine should at this point have somewhere between 20-25 mech/infantry/assault Brigades dedicated for this.

They should have 9 bde equipped with western equipment, 3 equipped by them self. There is another 9 brigades in offensive guard. Ukraine have additionally 8 or so units forming. Plus there are a bunch of TD brigade and regular brigades which could support the offensive.
