Ternopils'ka oblast - The flag is a heraldic banner in
proportion of 2:3 and is divided horizontally, the upper yellow
stripe being 1/3 the width of the flag and the lower blue. The
upper stripe is charged with three white towers. The lower stripe
is charged in the centre with assigned crosswise yellow sword and
key.
The arms and flag were adopted on December 21, 2001. New symbols
(designed by D. Chepil). The towers personify three historical
lands - Halychyna, Podillya and Volyn - from which parts the
modern oblast has been built. The key and sword symbolize the
important strategic meaning of region.

handle up in pale and or key bit down and right in fess. In the
