Disk Utility can't repair my APFS volume, how to solve?

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 pass). Some 3rd-dev programs like 3M/EaseUS can read files from this disk, but it isn't free. So, maybe someone know what can I do to recover files/repair file system.
