Where is ancestral town Montchelek #russia

Darlene Glenn
 

My great grandmother (last name Primack or Primak) and all her siblings came from a town named Montchelek.  On their naturalization and immigration documents, I have seen variations of the town: Motchylok, Mitchelik, Malchilk
 
I believe that it would be in the Volhynia Gubernia (Wolyn) but I have not been able to locate the town with any of my searches.
 
Can anyone help me identify where this town is? Thank you.

In particular it may be Monastyrok city/village. Several villages with this name are situated in different parts of Ukraine.
