[4] The railway section from Lviv through Krasne to Zdolbuniv was electrified at some point during the 1960s and 1970s.

[4] On 25 April 2022 at 08:30 EEST (05:30 UTC), during the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, Oleksandr Kamyshin, the head of Ukrainian Railways, reported that five railway stations in western and central Ukraine had been attacked that morning, all within an hour.

[6][3][7] Maksym Kozytskyy, the governor of Lviv Oblast, stated that a missile had struck Krasne's traction substation, causing an explosion.

[7] The secretaries had stated that they had travelled to and from Kyiv via rail, although it was unclear whether they were in transit at the time of the attack.

[7][b] Kamyshin noted that, because use of Ukrainian airspace was impractical due to the invasion, many diplomats were being shuttled to and from Kyiv by train, a practice which he called "iron diplomacy".
