So like, I get that Ukraine is doing exceedingly well in the war, but how are they able to keep pace with Russia's manpower pool? Even if Ukrainians were killing 5:1, they would still be in a world of hurt, right?

The number of Ukrainians willing to risk death in Ukraine probably outnumbers the amount of russians willing to risk death in Ukraine, regardless with 30+ million population you can build the strongest army in the world manpower is not the most important resource.
