If black moves, Ke3 wins for black. White K to g2, then black pawn advances.

Kh2 gives White more options than Kf2, looks like it holds.

1...Ke3 draws. Black wins with 1...f4 as likeforest notes. White to move draws (also noted by likeforest).

This exercise is from Lev Alburt's Chess Training Pocket Book

Chess diagrams are always drawn with white at the bottom and black at the top.
