VeraCrypt can be decrypted by any housewife?

In general, I decided to encrypt a flash drive with important data, I myself am far from the topic of encryption, having studied various articles and reviews, I concluded that VeraCrypt would be the optimal program. Many reviewers said that VeraCrypt has a number of vulnerabilities, but they are not significant and the program itself is quite reliable.
However, I decided to google "VeraCrypt decryption" and came across a video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jo5gou-FSHQ
where a girl decrypts a disk partition using the ELCOMSOFT FORENSIC DISK DECRYPTOR program.
Is the method in the video really effective?
If so, what is the best way to encrypt the partition?

If you have a RAM dump with a key - yes
RAM - stores values ​​for quite a long time at room temperature and permanently when frozen in liquid nitrogen

There will be a lot of "if ..."
- If the verascript encryption module is standard, and not additionally manually installed.
- If the version of elcomsoft is new enough (well, or the version of veracrypt is old)
- If the computer has enough power
For example.
I have a guy friend. Not so long ago, their director, who himself was once an administrator, died in an accident, so he was a terrible technomegaloman, he installed Windows for himself and kept a lot of interesting things on encrypted cryptocontainers, and he had a non-standard encryption module, GOST-ovsky, these elcomsoft containers didn't even want to see containers :)
