I was wondering why молоко is in accusative instead of genitive, as the sentence is negative. But I found the answer in this forum:

In general in Ukrainian, negative verbs take the genitive. The main exception would be in a negative phrase in which the auxiliary verb is negative, but the direct object is of the positive main verb. For example:

• Я не читаю цієї книжки. - I am not reading this book. (Genitive because "book" is the object of the negative verb)
• Я не хочу читати цю книжку. - I don't want to read this book. (Accusative because the negative verb is "want," but "book" is the object of non-negative verb "read.")

Is пити the infinitive?

[skstudio]

Yes, it is.

Well, "пити" sounds like polish "pyty" and that means "❤❤❤❤❤". Needless to say, I was confused ;)
