I’m honestly surprised it has gone on as long as it has, isn’t Ukraine struggling to conscript anyone under 25?

They're openly admitting that conscription is not sufficient to backfill positions now. It looks like the inflection point has been hit at the end of last year where the front is visibly starting to collapse. It's going to take a few more months, but it will accelerate. Pokrovsk is place to watch because once that falls then the front will be split in two with no way to reinforce.
