List of steps I ended up doing:

Boot Kali Linux or any other live Linux distribution with guymager tool installed. Use guymager tool to acquire raw image of your system disk. It's much safer and usually faster than using dd by hand.
You need to convert raw image to VHDX image to mount it on Windows. You're going to need vhdtool.exe and vhdxtool.exe.
Firstly, convert raw image to VHD format.
```
 .\vhdtool.exe /convert G:\image-2017-12-29.dd
```
Also, change its extension, because vhdtool.exe is not going to do it for you.
```
 Rename-Item G:\image-2017-12-29.dd G:\image-2017-12-29.vhd
```

Convert VHD image to VHDX format.

 .\vhdxtool.exe upgrade -f G:\image-2017-12-29.vhd

You now have VHDX image file that you can mount on your system and then open it with VeraCrypt.

I have even managed to boot my cloned VHD (not VHDX though) disk in VirtualBox inside the original system.
