Entire EU combined have below 2 million military personnel, which means that most likely not even half are combat-worthy. AFU already lost more people than that in the last two years (counting all kind of loss).
Of course EU have much more potential recruits than that, but i imagine how popular that kind of draft would be, if possible at all.
Even if it was, you can’t just grab people off the street and throw them into combat. It takes like a year to do basic military training. Part of the reason AFU is currently collapsing is because it’s increasingly filled with conscripts who don’t want to fight and don’t have the skills necessary. On the flip side, Russian army is seasoned and motivated.
