edit

In December 2001, a rectangular banner with an aspect ratio of 2:3 was approved, which consisted of two horizontal stripes, yellow and blue, in the ratio of 1:2. On the yellow strip there are three white towers with open gates. In the blue strip there is a yellow vertical sword with the hilt up and a horizontal yellow key.

After the remarks of the Ukrainian Heraldic Society regarding the coat of arms, the new decision on November 18, 2003 changed the flag of the region.
