The Krasna is a river in Ukraine, a tributary on the left bank of the Donets River, within the Don River Basin.
The name of the river means red in Ukrainian.[1]
During the Russian invasion of Ukraine, this river became part of the frontline in the Luhansk Oblast campaign, and there were many fortifications in the areas around the river.[2]
The Krasna flows through the Luhansk Oblast of Ukraine, and has a basin drainage of 2,710 km2. The 151-km long river begins at the village of Tymonove, flows though Svatove, and ends at Kreminna, where it merges into the Donets.[3] With a drop of 0.5 m per km, the river is gently flowing. The width of its valley is 3.5 km. The right bank is high, up to 60 m in places, and cut by short but deep ravines. The flat left bank is lower, less than 30 m high and gently cut by tributary streams.
The river is protected within the Sieverski Donets National Park.
