The Fox News article is behind a registration wall, but MSN has it, https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/suspect-who-shot-slovakia-pm-fico-reveals-possible-motive-report/ar-BB1mv0UM . From the article:

In a video that has surfaced on Facebook, a person who matched images of the man taken into custody Wednesday was heard saying "I do not agree with government policy," according to Reuters.

"Liquidated mass media. Why is [public broadcaster] RTVS being attacked?" the man reportedly continued, while also questioning the removal of the chairman of a state judicial council.

Slovakia’s government in late April had approved a controversial overhaul of the country's public radio and television services, a move that critics say would result in the government taking full control of the media.
...
Media in Slovakia say the suspect is a former shopping mall security guard and a member of a Slovak Society of Writers, according to Reuters.

So the guy is Slovak, not Ukrainian, and his motivation was Slovak domestic politics, not Russia vs. Ukraine.

Army Weighs Pros, Cons of Canceled Helicopter Program
5/15/2024
By Laura Heckmann   
 
DENVER — When the Army announced the cancellation of its Future Attack Reconnaissance Aircraft in February, it marked the service’s fourth failed attempt to replace the Kiowa scout helicopter, with billions of dollars sunk into another scrapped program.

Nearly three months later, Army and industry officials insisted it’s time to embrace the lessons learned and move on.

“That decision is made. We are moving out,” retired Army Maj. Gen. William Gayler, senior strategic advisor at PeopleTec, said during a panel discussion at the Army Aviation Mission Solutions Summit in April.

The decision was an expensive one, however. The FARA program cost $2.4 billion and followed three other tanked Army aviation programs to replace its attack and scout helicopters over the past 20 years: the Comanche attack helicopter in 2004, the Armed Reconnaissance Helicopter in 2008 and the Armed Aerial Scout in 2014.
