Olga Sumska celebrated her 60th birthday on 22 August and shared a humorous Instagram clip in which she tries to blow out candles marked “50” and then runs when someone replaces the 5 with a 6. In her post she thanked God, her parents, her husband Vitaliy Borysiuk, her children, colleagues and "all our defenders," whom she said she knows personally.

Sumska received birthday congratulations from Borysiuk while on the Dnipro–Kyiv train; in the video he teases that she is “30 years old” and wishes they will be together many more times over. The article notes the couple marked their 30th wedding anniversary in May and that Sumska has previously spoken openly about her attitude to ageing and personal plans ahead of the milestone.
