The Gonfalon

From the site of Ukrainian Heraldry:
"In January 24 1996 the session of the town council approved the gonfalon: a square canvas with a ratio of 1:1. In a red field there are white hammer, hammer and railway key. The author is Yu.Terlets'kyi."
Phil Nelson, 7 July 1999

I'd say that the "railway key" is a "wrench".
Santiago Dotor, 9 July 1999

Coat of Arms

From the site of Ukrainian Heraldry:
"On the 24th of January 1996 town council session (resolution No.189) confirmed a modern emblem - in a gules field there is an argent poll-pick and an argent hammer and a key in cross. A poll-pick symbolizes the name of the town (from the word "dovbyt" meaning "to thump").The hammer and the key symbolize a railway and building industry. Gules and argent colors symbolize Volyn'."
