The female activist, whose name was not reported, swung the huge hammer against a fragment of the wall, which had been brought to Kiev after its collapse in 1989.
The activist had 'Break the Wall' written on her back, a message which she kept shouting with every swing of the sledgehammer.
A number of cameras and reporters can be seen surrounding the woman, in what appears to be a staged and planned protest.
The FEMEN press office has confirmed that the protest was against the building of metaphorical walls 'on Ukraine's way towards its democratic future in Europe.'
A statement read: 'The sextremist broke a legendary symbol of the division between the world and its people. 'It is a protest against artificially-created obstacles towards a visa-free regime between Europe and Ukraine.'
