Glennie, I'm so pleased that you aren't promoting an Etruscan-Ukranian connection.  Do we continue locating Etruscan in Italy?  That appears to be as good a place as any.
 
About those hundreds of words -- hate to tell you, but hundreds still doesn't constitute a language.

Gerry, you are one confused little puppy. I supplied the
Etruscan-Ukrainian link in order to demonstrate similar
problematic examples of views like your own belief in an
Etruscan-HurroUrartian connection. To even fathom that
Etruscan is most closely related to Ukrainian would require
complicated brain surgery and heavy, long-term drug abuse on
the part of an obsessively analytical person like myself.

If you only know "a few" words of Etruscans, it only capitalizes
your poor research on the subject. There are hundreds of lexical
and morphemic items translated already. To the library!
