It is notable that the head of the Office of the President, Andrii Yermak, was also present.
Journalists also asked Zelenskyi's parents what kind of activity they prefer for their son. To which Zelenskyi's father Oleksandr stated that they "prefer" the comedy way.
The President himself admitted at the meal that his parents had always worried about him since his election as President.
The TV channel also notes that Zelenskyi grew up in the Soviet era, in a Russian-speaking family, and part of his early years took place in the Mongolian city of Erdenet, where his father taught.
During the meeting, Zelenskyi was also asked why ordinary Americans should worry about the conflict in Ukraine, which is thousands of miles from their own country.
"Tomorrow it may come to their homes," the President replied.
Zelenskyi is certain that Russian President Volodymyr Putin has "neo-imperial ambitions" to regain control of his neighbors.
"They don't want to leave us alone," the newspaper quoted the President saying.
