How do crosswinds affect runway selection at Pulkovo Airport?

Aircraft land and depart into the wind. Headwind is the part of the wind along the runway heading. Crosswind is the part blowing across the pavement. A negative headwind is a tailwind. At Pulkovo Airport (LED/ULLI) the live call is landing and departure 28L+28R with METAR wind 210° @ 12 kt. 28L shows 2.8 kt headwind, 0.0 kt tailwind, and 11.7 kt crosswind from the left. Controllers switch runways when the opposite threshold offers more headwind, or when the crosswind on the runway in use climbs. The component table lists every ULLI threshold so you can see which end holds the headwind and which end is taking the tailwind.
