What is a DNF 5 compatible alternative to `dnf repository-packages ancient-repo remove`?

After updating my Fedora system to Fedora 41 it is using DNF in version 5 which is a replacement of DNF 4 that works differently in some situations. I noticed that the command
dnf repository-packages ancient-repo remove
no longer works. This command was useful for removing all packages installed from a specific repository (ancient-repo
in this case).
For example, with DNF 4, I could run:
dnf repository-packages ancient-repo remove
But in DNF 5, this results in an error:
Unknown argument "repository-packages" for command "dnf5". Add "--help" for more information about the arguments.
It could be a command provided by a plugin, try: dnf5 install 'dnf5-command(repository-packages)'
How can I achieve the same functionality with DNF 5?
**Is there an alternative command or a workaround to remove all packages installed from a specific repository?**
