I somehow don't understand the last sentence.
"The pair may have been helped by a civilian who did not

It is very oddly worded. It would make more sense as:
"The pair may have been helped by a civilian, who did
not recognise them, to leave the area." (OK)
I agree that the lack of commas is confusing, but there
presense is even worse,

Yeah, and I think any Russian would write it like this. :)
I agree that the lack of commas is confusing, but there
presense is even worse, for it turns a restrictive clause
into a parenthetical one.
