"On the yellow rectangular panel with a ratio of the sides
as 2:3 is red cossack cross accompanied above and on each side by
three red eight-beam stars, and below by red half moon, crown and
sabre fixed one above another."

This is an interesting variation on a "cossack
cross" since it would appear that the term (in Ukrainian
usage) usually refers to a simple "cross pattee" rather
than this rather more elaborate example.
From my research it seems to be a "cross clechee".

"Or; gules cross accompanied in the chief, dexter and
sinister by gules eight-row stars, in the base by gules half
moon, crown and sabre fixed in pale. The shield enframed by or
cartouche and crowned by or village crown. The author is
E.Chernets'kyi.
The emblem uses symbols of XVII century Bila Tserkva regiment
flag. An original cross, eight-beam stars, young moon, crown and
sabre are characteristic symbols of cossack flags in XVII-XVIII
centuries.
