In an interview with a Russian journalist, the artist went so far as to say that her body "did not accept" the Ukrainian language. According to her, in 2022 she allegedly switched to the Ukrainian language, but suddenly "lost her voice." "I had a tour at that time, and can you imagine, I developed a cyst, and I lost my voice. Honestly, I didn’t even know what to do about it. I was in shock. I postponed concerts. I went to a psychologist, and my psychologist told me: 'Go back to Russian. Your body does not perceive this'… This is pure psychosomatics. I believe in psychosomatics. Everything that happens to us is all in our heads," said Kamenskikh. "Of course, Ukraine should 100% speak Ukrainian, but I concluded for myself that I want to decide which language to speak and which language to sing in." And this statement was particularly sharply reacted to by users on the social media platform Threads: "Another low point from Kamenskikh... So, the Ukrainian language is to blame for your health problems? And Russian is the magic pill for all ailments? This is not even 'what difference does it make which language.' This is a new level of absurdity;" "Anastasia Kamenskikh's body did not accept the Ukrainian language. This is what Anastasia Kamenskikh's body said through her mouth in Russian during an interview with a good Russian woman... Although maybe it's for the best. Let this nonsense be expressed in Russian;" "A convenient concept for future corrupt officials: 'My body does not accept the declaration presentation,' 'My nervous system cannot handle living on one salary,' 'My body only gets into a Porsche.' "The brain has been irreparably damaged;" "I wonder who her psychologist is?"; "It seems that the story of the 'Russian-speaking jaw' has found a worthy competitor. Anastasia Kamenskikh, who now embodies freedom for us, has issued a new absurdity... It’s hard to imagine greater absurdity."
