The United States dismisses as "illegitimate" the results of the December 19 presidential elections in Belarus, State Department spokesman Philip Crowley said in Washington on Monday.
According to a preliminary count, the incumbent Alexander Lukashenko is in the lead with almost 80 percent of all votes cast.
On Monday the opposition parties held a protest rally outside the government headquarters in Minsk and tried to storm the building. Police waded in in force arresting hundreds, including several opposition leaders.
