It's no different at all from English nor russian. I'm telling you this as a person whose main language is Ukrainian. General pronunciation is a different thing i got what you mean. But how many people who use English have "right" pronunciation. For example letter "w" alone, many don't know difference between "v" sound. So i wouldn't say it's that strict if compare to others.

in Polish it would be wzrok for sight

In most Slavic languages, "vazduh" is the word for air, and so is the Serbian language... In Serbian, the word "zrak" exists, but it means something completely different, which has nothing to do with air, such as the sun's rays, for example , or the word "zracenje" means that something radiates... The word for air "zrak" is used by Muslims from Bosnia and not all, Croats and Slovenians. As well as "morski pas " literally translated "sea dog" for a shark?!
