Disk Utility can't repair APFS volume, how to recover data?

Good day. I can't repair APFS Volume. I tried: diskUtil, fsck_apfs, repair from recovery mode. But nothing helps me. Also this volume is encrypted by FileVault (I remember password). So, maybe someone know what can I do to recover files/repair file system.

Since Disk Utility and fsck command fail to repair your drive, you can fix the corrupted APFS drive by formatting it. Before that, use professional Mac data recovery software to restore data from APFS drive first.

Formatting will erase your all data and files from the drive. Therefore, if you have precious data stored in the corrupted APFS drive, it's highly important and necessary to recover data from corrupted APFS drive before wiping it out.

How to fix corrupted APFS drive by formatting it:

Step 1. Go to Disk Utility and select your drive. Remember to select the whole drive instead of only the volume.

Step 2. Click on the Erase button at the right window. Here, you won't be asked to enter the FileVault key. A formatting prompt will pop up and ask you to fill in the chart, including the Name, Format, and Scheme.
