Google calendar events are being recreated after deleting them. using ICS attachment

I am using ICS email attachments to create events and sync google calendar.
the events are created fine, But if I delete them and enter the gmail inbox, it is recreating the events.
the only workaround that works for me is to delete the emails with the attachments from inbox and trash.
Is that a known google calendar bug, or there is something I can change with my ICS file to solve this?
This is the ICS file I use:

thank you.
An RRULE must actually be specified - the FREQ should be part of the RRULE not standalone
The ietf.org site is not responding for me now, try
https://icalendar.org/iCalendar-RFC-5545/3-8-5-3-recurrence-rule.html

In Thunderbird and Gmail I able to see only first (by order) event. Is this normal behaviour for mail clients, should I create separate .ics file for each VEVENT then and send it with single mail? Thanks in advance for help!
Separate them. I don't know a calendar app that allows one to 'invite' someone to multiple events at the same time. One can of course send a multi event file and ask the user to import it (but for multi events sometimes subscribe is better). If one sends an ics file generated by google calendar, it does the same thing (along with option to download ics file), so nothing to do with your file.
If the need is to have a person see multiple events at a time, a better approach would be to offer them a personal subscribeable ics url. That way they see it separately in their calendar app and it will update/refresh when there are changes.

What is wrong with this iCal event?

I'm generating an ics file from calendar information and google calendar can show these. But a few events doesn't show up, for example this one: (one event extracted from the full file)

I have checked the above at http://severinghaus.org/projects/icv/ and it validates. Does anyone have any idea why this specific event wouldn't show up in an iCal consumer, for example google calendar.
Any help is appreciated.
I was able to "import" it into a test google calendar with no problem.
In my experience, "subscribing" via google calendar can be slow - ie it may not show up for a while.
