Bulgarian Prime Minister Rumen Radev stated that the Bulgarian parliament will likely approve the use of Bezmer airfield by US military aircraft.

The US military aircraft will use the Bezmer airfield, located in central Bulgaria, for refuelling purposes.

Prime Minister Rumen Radev previously criticized the presence of US planes at Sofia's main airport, according to reports.

The deployment of US refueling aircraft follows a request from Washington to support its operations in the Middle East, as reported.
