The Krasna (Ukrainian: Красна) is a river in Ukraine, a tributary on the left bank of the Donets River, within the Don River Basin.

Etymology[edit]

The name of the river means red in Ukrainian.^[1]

Geography[edit]

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.^[2]

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.
