History
An air base of the Ukrainian Galician Army functioned in Krasne during the Polish-Ukrainian War of 1918-1919.[3] Krasne was occupied and annexed into the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic by the Soviet Union from the Second Polish Republic in September 1939 as part of the Soviet annexation of Eastern Galicia and Volhynia.[4] Following the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, Krasne was included in the Lviv Oblast of Ukraine.
Until 18 July 2020, Krasne belonged to Busk Raion. The raion was abolished in July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Lviv Oblast to seven. The area of Busk Raion was merged into Zolochiv Raion.[5][6]
Until 26 January 2024, Krasne was designated urban-type settlement. On this day, a new law entered into force which abolished this status, and Krasne became a rural settlement.[7]
